Want to open a COSPLAY picture library

If your villa is relatively large, the decoration style is suitable for taking cos photos, and there is no store rental fee, you can consider it appropriately.

Moreover, if it's just for hobbies, not for making money, then do it!

If the landlord has the cost of renting a storefront and wants to make money, it is recommended not to consider cosplay photo library.

Hiring a tailor to make cos clothes and opening a clothing store will definitely earn more than opening a photo studio.

Details are as follows:

1, the photo studio needs a storefront, and the decoration cost is relatively high.

According to the form of the villa, it can be decorated into European, Japanese or Chinese gardens.

For example, the Black Cat Mansion in Guangzhou is a typical European style. Many coser will go there. Not counting furniture, 2 million. If you count the furniture and others, I can't work it out anyway.

If you just want to make a set, some rooms can be decorated like those in popular cartoons, and even some rooms can be simulated as classroom scenes. Just find some anime fans.

If it's just a shed to change the background or something, you can only take the civilian route to attract a little interest in animation or entry-level coser, and it's hard to repeat customers or something.

The cost of costume props depends on whether you made it yourself or bought it yourself. Expensive to buy, high maintenance costs.

Briefly talk about the cost of props:

Maid series: around 200 yuan, normal people will choose, coser will never choose.

Cheap daily clothes function: clothes+wigs = around 300 yuan, and most people don't choose them. (except Huo Ying and a pirate)

Everyday clothes with better quality: 400 yuan 500 yuan, choose the right role, and someone will like it.

Cheap dress function: dress+wig = around 800 yuan, few people will choose.

Complex daily clothes: clothing+wig+accessories = 1000 yuan, which may be more attractive.

Hardcover: clothing+wig+accessories = 1500 or so, even higher. The photo is accurate enough, recommended!

Cheap armor: clothes+armor+wig = 1500-2000. The lich king, who is not too refined, may be able to do this. It's not good-looking, but it's ok to take pictures later.

Fine armor: 4500-5000, there are higher ones, but photos, this accuracy is already the limit.

Correct nursing is a big problem:

Daily clothes and fabrics are easy to take care of, just iron them and hang them up.

Wigs need to be combed frequently, otherwise they will look too messy, attract customers and be troublesome to retouch.

It takes a lot of energy just to repair the paint of armor. If a layman wears it twice and the paint falls off or bends it, you have to fix it, otherwise it will look shabby and no one will shoot it.

For example, the Black Cat Mansion only lends the venue, and pays according to the shooting time. There are no props, which saves this part of the cost.

3, handmade audience problem:

Handmade audiences are mostly otaku, coser women are more than men, and people who like beautiful clothes are obviously more than handwork. There are many people who are both coser and defeated.

Cos is a loser and needs very high economic strength. Rich people go directly to Amazon. The worst thing is Taobao purchasing. It is expected that the physical store will lose money sooner or later, and it is definitely not as good as selling comics (single volume is very cheap, you can flip it when you have time to make up, and there is demand from coser).

Many physical stores are supported by online stores. Without online store support, there is no money to earn.

4. Customer problems of 4.cos photo library:

Professional coser will make his own costume props, and at worst, he will spend some money to find friends to help him. Photography and post-production are also easy to find, and framing requirements are high, so it is difficult for photo studios to provide suitable scenes.

The landlord can only target novice coser or anime fans, and the price may not be enough. If it is expensive, no one will shoot it. If it is cheap, it will lose money. I'm afraid it's cheap or no one will shoot it.

If the landlord knows a lot of coser and has a professional photography team, it is recommended to only shoot paid photography and later stage, and become famous in the circle first, so that only the camera and lens costs are high, and the two big heads of store rent and props costs are saved.

I also plan to invest in cosplay Cafe or something. Later, I analyzed the cost, nerd psychology and coser psychology, and found that I was definitely losing money. I gave up when I had no spare money to do this kind of business.

I don't know if I have solved the LZ problem myself.
