.Akatsuki Shoot. .19th October 2008. .Chinese Gardens. .Singapore.
Photography.: Zettai. Miki.
Special Thanks.: Kirisaki.
After much planning, much delaying, and much tearing of hair from the scalp, we had our Akatsuki shoot. Initially, it was meant to be just Itachi and Kisame, but we were very glad to have Paradox as Deidara. She’s just awesomesauce. <33
Myself and Kisame got up very early in the morning and made our way to the Chinese Gardens via taxi. A long ride, because the Gardens are all the way on the opposite side of the island from Tampines. =( Due to the lack of sleep, we were bullshitting and talking cock all the way in the cab, so thankfully it wasn’t a boring ride. Breakfast (thanks, Para!) , makeup, and several hours of slacking later, we were ready to shoot.
It was disgustingly hot and humid in the first part of the day. =(
The shoot was a fun one though. It always is, with our regular photogs and within our circle. ❤ Many thanks to Kirisaki, our darling little monkey who made herself so useful helping us carry our things and make wind effects, and all the other saikang warrior duties. We appreciate it much. <333
It started to rain sometime in the evening, and that was the signal to wrap up the shoot.

.Afterthoughts. .Notes.
Itachi was, I felt, rather easy to portray. I hope I did it correctly and in a believable fashion. The hardest part about this cosplay would have to be the hair. -_- I grew out and used my own hair for this character, which was hard for me because real hair behaves differently from wigs. As a result, we had to avoid shooting me from certain angles because my hair at the back wasn’t exactly perfectly styled.
I’m happy that we made our forehead protectors from scratch, though. The weathered effect turned out very well in the photos.
