I decided to create a F.A.Q journal (frequently answered questions) as I have noticed that I keep getting the same questions. I love answering your questions guys so please feel free to write your own questions in the comments below. This journal will be linked on my front page under the link "F.A.Q". I'm hoping this will help people get the answers they want as quickly as possible!
Photography questions
What camera do you shoot with?
I updated my camera to a Canon EOS 550D with an EFS 18mm-55mm (0.25m/0.8ft) lens.
What software do you use to edit your pictures?
I use Photoshop CS3
How did you get so good?!
I'm really not that good. It takes lots of practice to get to a good standard of photography. Just take your camera out with you and shoot whatever you can. Practice makes perfect after all.
Can you look at my work and tell me how good it is?
I really don't think I'm a good enough photographer to judge your work, I'm sorry.
How did you edit (X) picture?
Via photoshop, if your really interested though I can go into detail on what effects I used on a photo.

I updated to Final Cut Pro X with Compressor 4.
What camera do you use to film with?
I updated my camera to a Canon EOS 550D with an EFS 18mm-55mm (0.25m/0.8ft) lens.
What song did you use in (X) video?
Check the description, most of the time I credit the song. Either that or the end of the video might have credits.
How did you do (X) effect?
If you search youtube for effects I've created it'll show lots of tutorials on how you can create the effect too.
Can you watch my video pleeeeease?
I get this a lot. I'm sorry but I get so many video requests to watch that I don't have enough time in the day. I'm sorry.
Can you star in my video?
I'm sorry I'm not doing video requests atm.

Cosplay questions
Where did you get (X)'s wig from?
I buy all my wigs from ebay. I just search for what kind of wig I want them check the quality and the seller feedback.
Where did you get (X)'s costume from?
Most of the time I use existing clothing to create cosplays or if not create from scratch.
I'm doing an (X) cosplay too, care to give me some tips?
Urm, just try your best? ^_^'
How did you style your Canada curl?
I started with some thick wire and cut it to the size I wanted. I then covered the wire with hair extensions in the same colour of the wig. I left part of it not covers so I could weave it into the netting of the wig. While wrapping the extensions around the wire I used clips and covered it in lots of hairspray. The wire is bent at the same time into the shape of the curl that you want. I hope that helps.
Update! I've made a video tutorial! Click the www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWql9Z…
How did you make your Shiro cosplay?
The suit is a nude colour morph suit that I bought off ebay (the seller has since shut their shop now, I bought it back in 2010) as at the time I'd only started to learn how to sew cosplays from scratch. I got my friend to paint the red pattern on me while I was wearing the suit. We used Dylon red fabric paint and a flat head paint brush so the lines were even. I cut off the feet parts, with spandex you don't need to hem. The wig is just a long, white wig which I cut and styled myself. The collar is made from Plastazote.The gloves are made out of a seude material that I found spare in my mums wardrobe. I made the pattern myself and sewed it together. The inside is padded to give it shape and the outside has small, stitch details. Belts were used for the wrap around bits of the costume.
Please cosplay this!?
If you demand a cosplay I should do I won't do it. I like to pick my own cosplays, that way I enjoy myself more and enjoy being a character I love. I do however like to hear different cosplay ideas people have for me, it's interesting to know what people think would suit me.
