Welcome to the second of two photo galleries from Saturday at New York Comic Con 2023 (click here for the first gallery). I met some really amazing cosplayers and fun people while making photos all afternoon. Spending the day in the tunnel, with the wall of photographers, the food trucks, the non-stop parade of costumes and people, is an intense experience. It’s always fascinating to watch how photographers put models in space and create images. I feel like I learn something every time — “bring layers” and “bring more water” being two of the most important lessons.

Cosplayers in this gallery include jsscbckr, jessie.d.l, quinnzelcosplay, justincredible_cosplay, Life of Cosplay, filthycosplayer, ricky_withthegoodhair, vampbrea, Adventures of Clever, bad_phoenix_wolf, akilles.cosplay, deadlynightshadeworks, whenfandomstrikesofficial, gogo_incognito, christians_comics87, cuzako, igor_pie_face, myratheoncosplay, 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.

This was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike, many of the characters being cosplayed here wouldn’t exist. Please consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund here.
