My Best Cosplay Shots of 2013: Genderbenders and Crossplayers
Yes, these three perfect dwarves from The Hobbit are women. I had no idea until I told them I was shooting for Nerd Caliber and Thorin said in a very feminine voice, "Oh, that's cool!"
2013 was a very busy year for me for cons and cosplay photography. I was privileged to get to go to cosplay powerhouse cons like Katsucon, Megacon and DragonCon for the first time this year, and managed to take photos of some truly mind-blowing cosplayers and costumes.
Starting today I will post a list of my ten favorites shots in three categories, one each day. The list is purely subjective, in some cases based on the best shot of a great cosplay, and in some cases an average shot of something truly outstanding.
Tuesday will be ladies’ day, tomorrow the gents, but today will be devoted to amazing genderbent and crossplay cosplay shots. While I could have done the entire post with Nicole Marie Jean’s costumes, she is not the only one consistently doing great genderbending. And the list is in no real order, except that last one which in my mind is perhaps the best — or at least the most disturbing.
The top genderbent shots I took in 2013 are:
