Athena Cole of Enayla Cosplay has always displayed an enormous attention to detail when it comes to crafting her own cosplays, so when I heard that she was in town for break, I jumped on the chance to photograph one of her latest cosplays— Shining Blade from Guild Wars 2.
One of the things photographers hate hearing is, “That’s a nice camera! It must take great photos!” It removes any skill from the photographer and blames or praises the camera for any image produced.

It’s the 10th anniversary of this convention in the Northwest, named for it’s cloudy weather. Staff photographer Al Lin gives us his report on Kumoricon, one of many conventions from a busy Labor Day weekend for us here at Cosplay Photographers.
