How Do You Take Good Cosplay Pictures?

Cosplay is about telling a story, and a good Cosplay picture should set a scene. Think about extra props, accessories or dressing you may wish to prepare in advance of your shoot. We will take care of the rest!

What does Cos Mean in Cosplay?

The ‘Cos’ part of the word ‘Cosplay’ stands for ‘costume’. This is because the artform is inspired by movie and literary costume design and characters. Cosplay essentially means ‘costume play’!

Is There an Age Limit for Cosplay?

There is no real age limit for Cosplay, however some character costumes can be sensual or ‘skimpy’ in design. It should be noted that anyone under the age of 18 should be adequately and modestly clothed. Please ensure that your costume is appropriate for the model’s age group before arriving at the shoot.
