If you\u2019re as much of a Facebook fanatic as I am, you probably spend a good chunk of your time on the site. Why not use this time to your advantage!<\/p>\n

  1. When you\u2019re going to a convention and want decent photos of your costume, take a quick selfie\/ full-body a few days before. Post these photos on the convention\u2019s Facebook page and ask if any photographers want to do a free photo shoot. Many people will show pictures of the character they are GOING to be, but looking at an animated character doesn\u2019t have the same impact as seeing the real deal. Stand out above the rest!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My first time wearing my entire Snow White before Otakon. It was a test, but I still posted it and got a lot of great responses!<\/p>\n

    1. Join a FB photography group. There are people from ALL ranges of photography skills and they\u2019ll likely be very excited to try shooting a different style of model (that\u2019s you!), even if they don\u2019t know your character. Post a list of costumes you own and see if anyone wants to work with you.\n
