Eunice and Al at Cosplay

I was going to make Eunice and Al part of my strangers project, but photographing attendees from a Cosplay event is probably too easy to be considered part of my strangers project.

Most Cosplayers want to be photographed, so I didn't need to work too hard to get the photo.

Having said that, Al, on the right of the frame, is now a retired cosplayer and she told me that they were wearing national costumes (Al , Chinese)

The two ladies will soon be related and Eunice will become Al's Auntie .....I had to pause and think to work that out !

I'm not too sure about the national costumes, Al's instagram said she was being a 'pirate' at the Nottingham EmCom Cosplay event !



A happy couple dressed interestingly! I'll have to find out what cosplay is all about.

Great outfits - I love how you don’t want to make your life easy!

If you didn't know them they still qualify as strangers. It's your smart thinking of going to a cosplay event that got the shot. It's great! take the credit. fav

Interesting, I had to look up cosplays. I would have enjoyed it when younger and probably even now! I’d either be a princess or librarian!
Al does look more pirate than a Chinese costume, but really I wouldn’t know. Fun photo.

I had to look up cosplayers too. Nottingham seems to be full of all sorts of interesting people, much more so than here.

They’ve put a lot of work into those outfits, whatever the source. Lovely portrait.

They look lovely. What a sweet portrait

Fun shot!

Lovely shot as always. Their costumes loo very lovely, especially compared to what young ladies wear nowadays.

Love the pose and the crispness of the details but, although the costumes are lovely, I'm none too sure about them being anyone's national dress!
July 9th, 2024  
I’ve never heard of cosplay….will have to Google! It must be good to have easier stranger subjects ripe for a photo though.
July 9th, 2024  
Sounds like a lot of fun for these ladies!
A wonderful photo and a great story.
