Techniques in Cosplay Photography

“Cosplay photography sat in the cusp of two schools of thought: pop culture (content), and photography (execution). It wasn’t enough for me to just take pictures: I wanted to discover what made the characters tick, and the techniques used to make them come to life. I had to go to the source beyond the photography and costuming. After that, then I could run off with a team on the other side of the creative spectrum and see what we could do with the images we produced...“I sought to make this book as a tribute to those whose imaginations have inspired a multitude of people like me into contributing to their worlds...“This book is a creative journal of sorts, capturing how we have traversed both sides of the creative equation. I hope you get to appreciate and enjoy the images as much as the path of self-discovery we pursued to make them.” From the Preface
