Cosplay is a recent phenomenon mostly seen at festivals and fan conventions such as ComicCon.
Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure), short for “costume play”, is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centred on role play. A broader use of the term “cosplay” applies to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context. Favorite sources include manga and anime, comic books, video games and films.
If you get the chance to go to one of these conventions, there are great opportunities to photograph some creative “Cosplay” costumes such as these 25 examples …
