It really is amazing how good some of the costumes are and how much work 
they take. This is one reason why I like to take pictures costumers - 
someone ought to document their hard work.

re: seam - I will buy another large backdrop for the ground so it wouldn't 
be a problem

re: posing
It's a problem. Some are natural and I shoot multiple poses. Some are 
"wooden" and I try to get them to do things and shoot multiple shots and 
get multiple wooden shots :-) Then you have ones that make great poses for 
about half a second each!!! Your favorite silver clothed alien/robot/ is 
one of them. That's why that particular pic does not have the bottom of her 
feet :-(

re: hot spot
Not quite sure what I need to do. I already use umbrellas. May be I need to 
use softboxes instead.

Thanks for the comments!
