Well, what more can I say?! It's not every day you get to walk in to a studio as an average punter who's a WWE fan and have your super-talented and creative photographer AGREE to let you cosplay as John Cena!!! Complete with an authentic WWE Championship Spinner replica belt!!!
Damian certainly "could see" the potential in the idea to steer away from the norm and make this the most entertaining photoshoot experience I have ever had after I only brought along the attire and belt as a 'last resort/if time permits' thing. Complete with "My Time Is Now" playing in the background, magic was created. (Oh, the James Bond-inspired shots and casual/relaxing poses were pretty darn good too!)
Damian and I already have discussed plans for the next shoot involving - wait for it - a Stone Cold Steve Austin cosplay (complete with authentic Donjoy knee braces similar to what Austin wore, and leather vests). And there WILL be a next shoot. Why? Because I doubt there are any other studios who offer EXCEPTIONAL value for money like Exclusive Photography for 108 hi-res digital photos and one print!!!
From the lovely Flo (make up artist) to the awesome Debbie and Tracy (main phone contacts), and last (but definitely not least) the delightful Simone (who played the slideshow back to me and assisted with selecting the best shots), I was given the VIP treatment and then some!
Bring on the next one!!!
