Already with a history of several years in cosplay photography,
Hexlord was amongst the first friends of
Cosplay Gen, where he kindly agreed to publish his beautiful shots since the pilot issue. Very dedicated to this hobby, to the extent of transforming the result of a mere photo-shoot into a veritable artwork, he accepted to share with our readers and fans some of his experiences as a cosplay photographer, in the interview below. For more of his cosplay photos, don’t forget to visit his
deviantART page.

Already very well known in the worldwide cosplay community,
Shiro Ang is also one of the first friends of
Cosplay Gen, having its photos published in each issue. Never ceasing to amaze through his beautiful portraits and stills, he is also the
no.1 contributor on
Cosplay Gen group, submitting his wonderful works for the view of as many cosplay fans as possible. Very talented not only as a cosplay photographer, but also as a photographer as such,
Shiro was kind enough to reveal some of his opinions regarding cosplay photography for our readers...

Italy has never failed in providing the community with very talented cosplayers. Many of you probably know NadiaSK from Milan, winner of many important awards (Best Female Cosplay at Cospladya 2010 in Palermo; 2nd place at Miss Cosplay, Festival del Fumetto 2010; Best Female Cosplay at Oscar del Cosplay 2009 – to name just a few, along with other several group awards), and was also one of the Italy representatives at World Cosplay Summit 2008 in Nagoya, Japan.

Until now,
Cosplay Gen has been gathering quite a lot of amazing friends, and we must admit that we are glad for having known them. One such friend is
Z3LL, a cosplay photographer from
The Philippines, who has already an experience of several years in this hobby, meeting a lot of enthusiastic cosplayers; the result of such encounters is not only beautiful photos, but also very nice memories and friendships.

You might remember our Alice in Steampunkland feature interview from the pilot issue of the Cosplay Gen magazine. Well here it is in its full glory, the interview with 3 of the group members (Bandit Ying, Dan The Farmer and Cvy), to which we also added a few photos of the more complete Alice in Steampunkland team , counting up to 13 members. It’s really great to see such an amazing original project brought to life by talented cosplayers. [..]
The first cosplay I ever did was Asuka Langley Shoryu of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I’d been a fan of her character for quite some time, and I decided that if I ever did cosplay, I wanted it to be Asuka. The first event I ever attended was Harumi. [..]
ShanHuang is not only a cosplayer, but also an artist, reflecting into his costumes a personal approach on a certain character. In his case, cosplay doesn’t mean only producing a beautiful outfit and wearing it perfectly, but also transforming the chosen character according to his own sensitivity and point of view. [..]
Harrison Krix, known better in the costume props making scene as Volpin, started making props just a few years ago when he and his wife wanted to cosplay as Link and Midna from The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess. [..]
