Cosplayer Necoco, who Kotaku has featured before, checks out Studio Gossip with cosplay blog Asagawo. Located in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, the studio features several different themed [[link]] rooms, providing backdrops for cosplay snaps. http://kotaku.com/5860416/elite-taiwan-university-overrun-by-cosplayers-in-skimpy-costumes/gallery/1(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In the last year or two, cosplay studios have become increasingly popular, giving photographers and models a more controlled—as well as a more photogenic—photography space. There’s even a cosplay theme park in Niigata. https://kotaku.com/inside-cosplay-photography-events-and-a-fancy-shinjuku-5827207 There are a couple of “variation” rooms, offering a variety of backdrops, as well as a “girl’s room” and a “man’s room”. Here’s a map of the different rooms. Studio [[link]] Gossip is not cheap by any means. Renting the space for six hours costs, wait for [[link]] it, ¥65,000 or US$833. Twelve hours costs ¥105,000 ($1,347). Steep! But if wearing skimpy costumes isn’t for the feint of heart, neither is taking photos of them in frilly bedrooms. 【割引あり】スタジオ紹介　”STUDIO GOSSIP”(高田馬場) [アサガヲBlog] (Top photo: ごっづ | アサガヲBlog) You can contact Brian Ashcraft, the author of this post, at [email protected].
