Hawkgirl

[Manfred M]

Lorinda Sherman is a cosplay model that I've shot a number of times in the past in solo shoots. Her Hawkgirl was one of the most complex costumes at the shoot. The wings weigh around 10 kg / 22 lbs and she was looking at adding a motor to get them to flap, but ended up not doing so (it would have added another 5 kg / 10 lb to the costume). Getting her through doorways was a bit of a challenge.

Photographically this was a challenge as well as the wings were fairly dark and 2m / 7ft wide, so challenging to light. Here are a few shots of Hawkfirl...
