Fan Expo Boston Saturday Cosplay Gallery Part 3
Mid-afternoon on Saturday at Fan Expo Boston 2023, Gregg was running around doing the Red Carpet and the cosplay large group photoshoot, Manny was finished with interviews and out doing some nerd shopping on the dealer’s floor before he had to catch a train back home, and I was enjoying the steady flow of cosplayers coming into our studio booth space. I saw friends I haven’t seen in years, some I haven’t seen in months, and new friends who discovered us on Friday and made a point to stop by in new cosplays every day.
As a photographer and as a lead at Nerd Caliber, I particularly like it when that latter thing happens. It feels good to have people discover us and what we do, and like it enough to become regular visitors. Another thing I really enjoy about taking photos at a good-sized convention is seeing the surprising and obscure cosplays, like the very accurate 1970s TV version of Spider-Man as portrayed by Nicholas Hammond and cosplayed by bostonspidey.
Among the cosplayers in this gallery are juju_creative.cosplay, chronically_cute_cosplay, daniel.donnelly.33, spacelordsraider_schneider, stro_lord, shinydoctorcosplay, darthlounatic, dfox360, semblance_x, kieraelizabethh, mz_ampersand, crusty.cosplay, Carley Winn Cosplay, mad_hatter_cosplay13, bretmherholz, bunnyflower_rex, craftycontraptions, bostonspidey, kyledainescosplay, dark_eyes_cosplay, lainabobaina_18, demonikayla, sideeyebrigade, ctcowboy71, cosplayablaze, carmichaelsean, ragdollmurderer, kyodai_kayoden, and many more.
We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
To view the entire gallery, just click on the image below. If you are pictured in any of our galleries, feel free to download the images and use them non-commercially on social media, with appropriate credit.
If you like our work and want to show your appreciation, feel free to tip us at Ko-fi or become a patron on Patreon.
Also, High-res images for sale is back!
If you are pictured in any of our galleries and want the high-resolution (3200 pixels at its widest by 300dpi) download for yourself, we can make it available via a private Smugmug link, for $10 per image. Just send an email to editor AT nerdcaliber.com. Currently limited to only photos taken by FirstPerson Shooter (aka Rodney Brown).
This was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, many of the characters being cosplayed here wouldn’t exist. Please consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund here.
will the red carpet photos be posted here?
Yes, after all the studio galleries are posted. That way I can possibly tag more cosplayers than if I posted them before.
Hi, I’m trying to find the group themed photos from Saturday 2023 (e.g. Zelda, Nintendo, etc) — can you direct me to those?
Hi Natalia. Anime Boston had no role in photographing cosplay in 2023, either in a studio or the themed groups. I think the best place to find those images would be by asking in the Anime Boston forum section for the group shoots you are interested in.
