I love Avatar (again). This Aang came to Bangor Comic and Toy Con with Toph Beifong and made my convention!

I love Avatar. This Toph Beifong came to Bangor Comic and Toy Con and was an absolute delight to shoot!

I captured this Canary from Hunter X Hunter at ATL Comic Convention 2024. The Cosplay is just spot on and the backdrop really matches the character.

I am thrilled to announce that I am having my first solo International Cosplay 50 show at FotoNostrum, the Mediterranean House of Photography in Barcelona, Spain which is the largest photo-only gallery in Europe. The opening of “COSPLAY DEL FENÓMENO A LA FOTOGRAFÍA” or in Catalan/English “COSPLAY FROM THE PHENOMENON TO PHOTOGRAPHY” is May 23, 2024 at the FotoNostrum Gallery. Of the 333 images I submitted, the gallery curated 118 of them to display. The photos will be on display from May 23 to July 31, 2024. In addition 15 Cosplayers have generously agreed to send their beloved Cosplays across the ocean to be put on display next to their images.

I am thrilled to have already photographed Cosplay conventions in thirty-two states, providing me with the opportunity to capture some of the most incredible Cosplays in the world! My Cosplay 50 Project led to the Cosplay 50 App and Cosplay50.com, a totally free / ad-free media-sharing and social media platform designed around Cosplayers. Please tell your fellow Cosplayers about this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition as well as Cosplay50.com. Just as important, please tell every Cosplay convention about the project as I still need eighteen states and many conventions (hello SDCC and D23) are incredibly hard to get into. This is a passion project for me, and I want to be a part of connecting the Cosplay community around the world.

Thanks to Sean, Sue, Olivia, Devin, Lee, Sophia, John, and countless others who have been involved in this project. To every Golden Ticket recipient, thanks for joining me in the Cosplay 50 studio and making this project possible.

🎩Tipped hats and teacups! ☕

📕Storytime: Caught in a surreal slow-motion moment on the convention floor, I spotted him—the Mad Hatter Cosplayed to absolute perfection, makeup and all. As I approached, my nerves turned, my mouth dry, but I bravely delivered the Cosplay 50 pitch. 🗣️💬 To my relief, words flowed, and he graciously accepted our offer for a free thirty-minute photoshoot. 📸 Every photographer’s dream, he brought it all—poses, personality, and phenomenal Cosplay. Truly a masterpiece in every frame!

💖Our extraordinary Mad Hatter 🐇has brewed a storm of creativity at ATL Comic Con and is now setting the stage at FotoNostrum, Barcelona.

**Normally, I post only one image from a shoot, but this time, I shared two to showcase the extraordinary details of his costume, enhanced by strategic lighting and a bit of motion from a leaf blower.

I love it when we have backgrounds that perfectly accentuate the Cosplays, like this one from Gravity. When I look through images, expression trumps all. It is all in the details and not just the ones the Cosplayer has worked on for hours. A hint of a shadow strategically located can say so much more than blasting light to show every detail.
