Group cosplay vs Couple cosplay vs single cosplay

Ever wondered about doing a couple or group cosplay instead of a single cosplay? Well here's a few points to look at

Single cosplay:
  • It's all you, nobody else can steal your spotlight
  • All the poses you do will have to consist of stuff the character can do alone
  • These kinds of photo-shoots tend to go very quickly
Couple cosplay:
  • These kinds of photo-shoots tend to get a bit intimate depending on the characters.
  • Yaoi / Yuri / Normal
  • You can decide on following the story IC (In character) or go look for ideas in fan-made products like fanfiction, fanart and doujin / doujinshi and go a bit OOC (out of character)
  • These shoots can take a while
  • If you feel comfortable with your cosplay partner and want to go a bit intimate (I AM NOT REFERRING TO PORN) then go for it
  • If you and your cosplay partner isn't that comfortable with each other, then stick to the 'not-so-close' poses.
Group cosplay:

  • The organizing of this shoot might take months, seeing as you have a big group to get together and ready.
  • When trying it for a convention, the chances are good that a few other cosplayers might join the group, either part of the anime group or random characters from other anime.
  • This can turn out to be really fun, doing small skits, funny group poses, etc.
