Zhel Guiral

          Ms. Zhel Guiral, also known as Ate Zhel, is a widely known cosplayer born in Davao. It wasn't really easy to match her time with me but I got to find time to interview her as a cosplayer. Here are few questions that I have asked her and the answers she has given me during our interview.










Q.) What was your first cosplay and when was it?
A.) Kagura Sohma (fruits basket) 2007 ata yun XD


Q.)Who introduced you to the world of cosplay?
A.)My friend back in college encouraged me to joing her do cosplay and I really had fun doing          it so, it eventually became my hobby and passion.

Q.)How did you feel when you had your first cosplay?

A.)Embarrassing at first ..but I did enjoy it ^^

Q.)How do you feel now as a cosplayer widely known around the world of cosplayers?

A.)I sometimes feel overwhelmed and happy that people get to appreciate my cosplays~ but then again I don't think too much about it because  I'm pretty much ordinary without my costume and the like

Q.)How much do you plan to cosplay? like any time period

A.)I haven't thought of a time period for now sine I believe that cosplay doesn't really pick an age. I may stop cosplay for now and probabaly come back a few months or years after..It depends ^^

Q.)Do you love cosplay? If yes how much? If no how come?

A.)Yes~ of course~ i wouldn't do this if i didn't. I love it as much as I love my hobby in painting or drawing.

Q.)Could you define cosplay in your own words

A.)Cosplay is a time wherein you can show your capabilities as an artist. It is not only an expression of oneself but an impression(overall effect of something) of you as a person. Cosplay is a time wherein you can set yourself free if done with true intent and passion.

It was an honor to interview Ms. Zhel. Thank you for your time.

              Sir Jemille Mendoza, also known as Kuya Jam from Anime Sky is one of the best photographers widely known among us. He may say his unexperienced and have a hard time in taking pictures, I say his pictures are excellent and is a professional. He has the passion to take pictures using his lens as his guide. He took various pictures of various cosplayers as well. His pictures are really astounding and excellent as you see the ones above. 


          I interviewed Sir Jam myself. I have asked him "What do you think of yourself as a photographer?" and without a doubt his answer was like a pro, "Hmm... I just want others to see what am I seeing... in my own perspective".


          I have interviewed others regarding sir Jemille. I have asked the others saying "What do you think about Sir Jemille Mendoza as a photographer?" The answers were astounding; 

Shan De Guzman = "Ok heres the thing I want to say to sir jem is he is a good photographer and good editor xD thats all bow"

Argie Rosalejos = "He's a very good photographer, studied about film photography and backed by love for art...he's one of the best photographer in the cosplay community"

Alexandroff Velasquez = "Sir jam is a talented professional photographer and as one of his fans i am expecting more cooler works ^^ he is 100% astig"

Wilonah Chan ="He's exceptional and has an exquisite style".

*THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN LAST JUNE 4, 2011 IN TRINOMA*

          Sir Hiraya Lopez, or also known as Raya is one of the photographers well known among the cosplayers in Anime Sky. He has his camera ready on his hand to take a snap when the moment of cosplayers flash in his sight. He may be young yet talented and see's in a perspective wherein a real photographer should see.

          I had an interview regarding him as a photographer himself. The question I threw to him was, "What do you think of yourself as a photographer?" He had an answer of an expert. He answered, "I'm an artist who expresses themselves photographs. Visions. Pictures. I create them because i want to make something. Something that will make the people like.. "WOW"." The answer has a very big impact for a photographer of his age.

          As usual, I had interviewed some people regarding Sir Raya as a photographer.

Jemille Mendoza = "An eager beiber.. i mean eager beaver... he has the eye on taking good shots. he's on the right track.."

Alexandroff Velasquez = " He is a young talented photographer so far so good he has lot's of sample shots and i can say na he also has enough talents to be a cool photographer"

Vesty Piedad = " Malaking potential, pogi, manly, may sense of humor~ pede pede"

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN!
