I had the opportunity to shoot a cosplay of Star-Lord back in October ( I’m so behind on my blogs ) with a fellow photographer. It was a fun day. I was amazed to see how much detail that William Tell had put into his cosplay outfit. He purchased the different pieces from various online stores.
The prop manufacturer who made the helmet replica was a German prop maker named David Klakus, and William Tell spent about a month after receiving it painting it to perfection. The walkman is legit, an original Sony Walkman like in the movie ( He’s super proud of that authenticity, it alone cost him about $800 with an extra $300 for the helmet and $250 for the coat.)
William Tell is currently working on a Hawkman outfit and I’m really looking forward to seeing the completed character and shooting with him again in the future.
These are fabulous; both on the photography and cosplay side. The costume is fantastic, to say the least. The framing of shots is incredible. Certain camera views really gave a feeling of “don’t mess with Starlord” while others, ones showing the Walkman, for example, demonstrated his music, askew personality side.
Colors are fantastic. Maybe for next photo sesh’ add one other subject for Starlord to play off of? That could be fun. Great job by all.
WOW! Amazing photos, love the location…the costume is pretty fantastic as well!
Nicely done, This is an amazing set.. Awesome color and clarity!
