This whole cosplay was beautiful and ethereal and you'd never know we were all dying from the heat. 😁

Gloria here, with some lovely photos by @lo8is.bsky.social from the @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup at Rust Manor earlier this year. We had fun playing with lighting and posing. #18thcenturyfashion #historicalcostuming #cosplayphotography

Gloria here, sharing photos from the @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup at Burnside Farms. With the strong sun, Mike and did a backlit set. I knew I would increase fill and exposure on me during editing, so we planned for that. The last photo is an outtake from when Mike was testing settings. 😂☀️

Gloria here, sharing some beautiful shots by Munchkin Photos from the @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup at Rust Manor earlier this year. I love how the silk fabric of my gown almost glows under the lights. 👗 My fichu is by Fashions Revisted.

Gloria here. I was trying to channel a Hollywood glam vibe for this shot, even though that was not at all historically accurate for a regency dress. Mike totally got what I was going for. 📷 The photo is from a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup last year.

Gloria here, sharing some beautiful photos by alog243 (IG) from the June @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event at Big Barn 1810. I had a chance to bring out my reproduction niddy-noddy made by Bosworth Spindles. 🧶I made my outfit using patterns from Black Snail, and my apron fabric is from B&T.

Gloria here, and I’m thinking about sewing more menswear. Maybe a black evening tailcoat for myself? What do you think? 🎩 This photo is of my Max Liebermann cosplay, taken at the @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event in March. #viennablood #historicalcostumer #cosplayphotography

Gloria here, sharing a lovely photo by demingwan (IG) from the most recent @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event at Big Barn 1810. I was excited to wear a new regency dress (I made it several years ago but had never brought it out for an event) and use my spinning wheel!

Gloria here. Saragobragh (IG) and I did not plan to wear similar 1780s gowns and fichus to the last @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event; it was a happy coincidence. We had to grab some shots together! #historicalcostuming #18thcenturyfashion #cosplayphotography #bellecosplay

Gloria here, sharing some photos from last month’s @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event at Rust Manor. Mike and I were experimenting with a non-historical vibe for my posing to contrast with my costume and the setting. We had fun with it! 👗📸 My fichu is by Fashions Revisited.

Gloria here, with a wonderful shot by Munchkin Photos from a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup last spring. It was great to wear this 1780s dress, which I made back in 2009. I love being able to get a lot of use out of my comes. 👗 My cap is by Fashions Revisited. #historicalcostumer

Gloria here. I have been rewatching season 1 of Vienna Blood, which means it is time for a new Max photo! This one is from the recent @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event at Congressional Cemetery. I love dramatic side lighting that Mike did!

I am so proud of this image of @mirroredmoth.bsky.social’s stunning couture Castiel at a recent @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event. It took a lot of experimentation, help from @ctpphotos.bsky.social and @jefrostphoto (IG), and G’s editing magic, but we captured the exact image I envisioned!—M
A photo of a cosplayer wearing a couture-inspired take on Castiel from Supernatural, in a chapel. The outfit is composed of a deconstructed beige trenchcoat over a silky white shirt, black bustier and blue necktie, accompanied by fabric collage wings and a stained-glass mitre. The wings are fully extended to the sides, with a wingspan nearly twice the cosplayer’s height. The cosplayer is holding a dagger and looking up and to the right, face aglow in warm light.
