Oz Comic Con Homegrown | Sydney | 2021

Covid still lingering on but not dampening the enthusiasm for cosplay at the second Oz Comic Con of the year here in Sydney, some great work on display and I fortunately got to capture some of it.

Feel I’ve upped my game this year, breaking out of my comfort zone of natural light and shooting with flash has made a noticeable improvement, though still more work and testing needed I feel!

First 24 are shown below, click the title to go through the album on Flickr!

Oz Comic Con Pop Up | Sydney | 2021

Back to the conventions, Covid may have stopped the international stars of screens big and small but it didn’t seem to put a dent in the imaginative cosplay that always makes these events for me, even the quiet Sunday morning slot I had yielded a few hundred snaps.

Thanks to Oz Comic Con for inviting me to take up the official cosplay photography booth, it’s always great to give back to such an awesome community in the little way I know how.

Oz Comic Con | Melbourne | 2019

Last time I went to Melbourne’s Oz Comic-con I was mistaken for a professional photographer, this year, I was.

Quite different approach, I shot for two hours Saturday morning and have twenty eight more pictures than the two days of floor walking last time I was here with people queuing up for a picture.

Supanova | Sydney | 2018

Fun at this years Supanova, saw some familiar faces (well, familiar voices, totally didn’t recognise the faces!). Managed to find a good spot for taking pictures, end of an aisle with a nice black backdrop and bit of carpet (maybe it was supposed to be a stall and they cancelled late?), quickly snowballed as people started asking me to take their picture, even had a queue at one point!

Oz Comic Con | Sydney | 2015

Panel’s weren’t as great as last year – but really, they’d be hard pushed to beat Shatner! Feel a little let down that Brisbane got Kevin Smith though and Mark Sheppard was at one of the other city’s too as his panel last year was hilarious. That said Richard Dean Anderson was entertaining enough but let’s face it, the day’s about all the glorious cosplaying and there were so many I didn’t get chance to ask (either space wasn’t available or they looked already inundated!).

As last year, had a lot of fun, great atmosphere and everyone was so happy and friendly when asked by a stranger if they could take their picture!
