Awaken Your Inner Hero, Villain, or Creature of the Night
Step Into Your Story
You’re not just booking a photoshoot.
You’re stepping into a story.
At GamerGurl Photography, I specialize in cinematic fantasy photography in Columbus, Ohio crafted for adventurers, cosplayers, LARPers, and anyone ready to see themselves as the hero, villain, or legend they’ve always imagined.
Whether you're wielding a sword in the woods, channeling your favorite character, or building something entirely your own… this is your world to step into.
Perfect for:
Fantasy portraits (fae, witches, elves, knights, goddesses, etc.)
Cosplay (anime, gaming, comic, movie, armor builds)
Fairytale concepts
OC characters
Soft bounds / closet cosplay
Couples or best-friend duos
Creators who want cinematic content
If you dream it, we can shoot it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You bring the character. I bring the cinematic energy.
Here’s how a typical Fantasy or Cosplay session flows:
Pre-Session Chat
We talk about your character, vibes, location (castle ruins, forest, city at night, studio, etc.), and any insecurities or must-have shots. If you’re not sure what you want yet that’s okay. I ask questions and help pull the vision out of your brain.
Light Posing & Warm-Up
I’ll never just point a camera at you and say “go.” We start with simple poses and easy prompts to get you comfortable in your wig, cloak, armor, or gown.
Cinematic Moments
Once you’re warmed up, we lean into the drama. Cloak swishes. Sword draws. Spellcasting hands. Soft close-ups. Epic full-body moments. We’ll capture both “poster art” poses and quiet, emotional frames.
Details & Close-Ups
Your armor, props, makeup, and little easter eggs deserve their own spotlight. I capture those details so you have content for reels, build posts, and socials.
Gallery Delivery
You’ll receive a private online gallery with high-resolution, fully edited images perfect for printing, sharing, and posting all over your feed.
Character Portrait Session
Perfect for: one character, one major look
60–90 minutes of shooting
One main location (or area of a location)
Time for a few pose variations & detail shots
Online gallery with edited images
Ideal for: new builds, updated portraits, or “I just want to feel epic once.”
Fantasy Fairytale Session
Perfect for: soft, romantic, witchy, or fae vibes
60–90 minutes, focused on mood, movement, and storytelling
Location suggestions to match your aesthetic (forest, stone, ruins, etc.)
Posing guidance for both soft & powerful looks
Online with edited images
Great for: fairytale OC, witch vibes, goddess concepts, or couple sessions.
Cosplay Content Session
Perfect for: con looks and content creators
Shorter, punchy session focused on variety & social content
Multiple angles & crops for reels, posts, and banners
Detail shots of your build/work
Online gallery with edited images
Ideal for: content creators, makers, and cosplayers wanting a batch of posts.
Support & Comfort
You don’t need:
Modeling experience
Full armor mobility
A polished build
A specific gendered pose style
You just need to show up as yourself (or your character).
I handle:
Posing
Hand placement
Cloak/skirt/armor adjustments
Navigating public locations
Comfort check-ins (corsets, heels, binders, heavy props)
If you’re anxious, neurospicy, or new to photos tell me. I tailor the session to you.
