This time, I’d like to tell you about a very cool genre inside portraiture: Cosplay Photography. If you’re not familiar with it, Cosplay is a HUGE cult inside geek culture where people make costumes and dress up as their favorite characters from comic books, movies, video games and more.

You often see it at conventions like Comic Con, Dragon Con, Wonder Con, etc. People often buy costumes or work for a really long time putting them together. Lots of famous cosplayers have big Instagram and Facebook followings. Cosplay photography has a huge community and following all over the world and it's a field of specialty in portraiture photography and graphic design. There are different levels that one can do Cosplay photography, from simple portraits at comic conventions to sessions in studios or on location. Editing is a big thing inside Cosplay photography as many photographers spend hours creating fantasy backgrounds, locations and effects to make the photos look more like the source of inspiration. . thephoblographer.com
