How to take Cosplay Photography at Conventions ( Respectfully + Creatively ) | Anime Expo 2025

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of how I approach cosplay photography—from technical setups to the mindset and respect it takes to make someone feel confident in front of the lens. I walk through how I ask for consent, share references on my iPad, and shoot everything from wide environmental to tight portraits in the chaos of a packed convention. Whether you're heading to SDCC, your first con, or just want to level up your event photography, I hope this helps you feel more prepared and excited. 00:00 Intro Anime Expo 2025 00:22 Photog Mind Set (why are you here) 00:54 Camera Gear & Settings 05:05 Navigate the Venue 06:57 Approaching Cosplayers Respectfully 09:08 During the Shoot (Create an Experience) 13:12 Post-shoot Etiquette 17:52 Always Attend the Last Day of a CON! 18:41 Cosplay Photo Skills are Transferable 21:10 Final Takeaways 22:23 Debrief 🎒 Gear I Used (referenced in the video): **Camera**: Sony A7IV **Lenses**: Sigma 24–70mm f/2.8 Sony 20–70mm f/4 G (backup) 70–200mm G II (left at home this time) *Lighting* (rarely used due to crowds): Neewer Q4 strobe Westcott beauty dish **Extras**: Manual white balance (custom Kelvin) iPad (for tethering & showing poses) JBL speaker (for mood-setting music) Shutter speed ~1/250 Aperture: f/5–f/8 for full-body, f/2.8 for headshots ISO: raised as needed for clean exposure (800–1600) 🎭 Follow me for more cosplay BTS: 📸 @Chozen_cosplay 🎥 @eddychoz #AnimeExpo2025 #CosplayPhotography #HowToShootCosplay #AX2025 #SDCC2025 #SonyA7IV #ConventionVlog #CosplayTips #BehindTheScenes
