Celina, based in Melbourne Australia is an aspiring artist. With a passion for expressing herself through makeup, beauty, fashion, cosplay & photography, she believes in living life as creatively as possible.
Couple of weekends ago a group of my friends and I set out to do the shoot I had dreamed of doing for many years now, Magic Knight Rayearth manga version! Growing up on anime, Rayearth was one of the first series I become addicted to and I’ve always loved Shidou Hikaru the most (check out the shrine I made for her 11 years ago, and check out my web / graphics skills way back in 2000)
Our photographer was the ever talented Neil Creek, with help from his equally talented wife Naomi Creek and Surfaced 
I cosplay Hikaru (red), Sefie was Fuu (green) and Annie was Umi (blue).
Here are some of my favourite photos from the shoot.
I am putting together a video montage / documentary of the behind the scenes shoot and hope to upload it for all of you very soon 
I had the most amazing time on this shoot, it was filled with laughs and bugs, and the company was second to none
Thank you to everyone who was involved, you really came through for me and made me incredibly happy, thank you so much <3
I’m totally printing this photo in memory of my gorgeous friends and I doing what we love best
Blessings on this enchanted forest~! XDDDD

Sounds so much fun posing these shots and I love Anime cosplay. The costume looks amazing. I remember watching Magic Knight Rayearth very adorable and pretty anime. Are you planning to dress as Sailormoon anytime soon? I love that series when I was younger.

Yay! I’m so glad someone besides me has actually heard of Magic Knight Rayearth before! I used to watch it all the time in my teen years
I’m actually hopign to one day cosplay Sailor Mercury, just because growing up she was the Senshi I could most relate to, nerdy, shy and loves computers etc… maybe not so much about the good grades tho hehe.

Wow! Just Wow! What a BRILLIANT shoot! Love it!
I hope you’ll do the Sailormoon look soon! That was one anime I watched ages ago and I loved, loved Sailor Mercury too! She’s gorgeous, and I reckon you’d be able to pull off her look fabulously!
