There's something truly magical about capturing the artistry of cosplay—the joyful reunions with familiar faces, the spark of new creative connections, and the privilege of witnessing passion brought to life through costume and character. I was honoured to attend both MCM London events this year, creating images that celebrate the incredible talent within this community.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to:

* MCM Comic Con for their generous support in providing a pass for me, enabling us to document this extraordinary celebration of creativity and fandom. (https://www.mcmcomiccon.com/)

* My wonderful wife, whose steadfast encouragement during shoots and endless patience through late-night editing sessions makes everything possible. Your support means the world.

* The talented cosplayers who pour their hearts into bringing beloved characters to life. Your dedication, craftsmanship, and passion inspire me with every shoot. Watching your creativity unfold is a constant reminder of why I love what I do.

* My fellow photographers, whose collaborative spirit and mutual support create an atmosphere where everyone can flourish. Together, we elevate each other's work and the entire community.

This year's events reminded me of an essential truth: in photography, as in life, quality truly triumphs over quantity. While it's tempting to capture every moment, I've learned that slowing down to forge genuine connections and craft meaningful images enriches the experience for everyone involved.

To all who make the cosplay community such a vibrant, welcoming space—thank you. Your artistry, enthusiasm, and dedication inspire me daily, and it remains my privilege to help share your remarkable work with the world through my lens.
