"If you need to stop an asteroid, you call Superman. If you need to solve a mystery, you call Batman. But if you need to end a war, you call Wonder Woman." ~Gail Simone Wonder Woman: @inthelongrun.bsky.social Event: @costumeandcamera.bsky.social #wonderwoman #cosplay #cosplayphotography #photography

The weather is getting cooler, but we can still look back fondly on the summery vibes of @mirroredmoth.bsky.social’s swimwear Sailor Neptune!—M Event: @costumeandcamera.bsky.social 📸: @inthelongrun.bsky.social

Happy new Fire Emblem day! Here's a Felix photo to celebrate! I love the lighting in this shot. 📸: Jeff Frost @costumeandcamera.bsky.social

Gloria here. This was my first 18th century gown that I ever made, in 2009-2010. I’m glad some of my older costumes still hold up! These photos are from a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event last year. #18thcenturyfashion #historicalcostumer #cosplayphotography #costumeandcamera

This whole cosplay was beautiful and ethereal and you'd never know we were all dying from the heat. 😁 Cosplay & cosplay: @arthemys_sews (IG) Event: @costumeandcamera.bsky.social #cosplayphotography #cosplay #portraitphotography #canonphotography

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. 😂☀️

Loved welcoming @phoquess.bsky.social and her 🔥 Umbreon cosplay to the July @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event!—M 📸: @inthelongrun.bsky.social

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.

Shenanigans were had yesterday with @costumeandcamera.bsky.social

At the most recent @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event, a sudden thunderstorm meant we had to shelter inside, but we made good use of the time to capture some striking images!—M Cosplayer: @swordlilycosplay.bsky.social Cosplay: Imogen, Critical Role S3 📸: @inthelongrun.bsky.social

The amazing BG3 cosplays of @engineerscosplay.bsky.social always make me want to start a new run. Who should I be this time?—M Cosplays: Jaheira and Shadowheart, Baldur’s Gate 3 Cosplayers: @engineerscosplay.bsky.social Event: @costumeandcamera.bsky.social 📸: @inthelongrun.bsky.social

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.

Looking back into our archives made me realize I hadn’t posted this photo of Abby’s amazing Anne Wheeler cosplay, captured way back in January!—M Cosplayer: @the.love.of.serendipity (IG) Cosplay: Anne Wheeler, The Greatest Showman Event: @costumeandcamera.bsky.social 📸: @inthelongrun.bsky.social

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!

I haven’t posted in a bit, here’s some glamorous Mai. #Cosplay by me, photo by @ctpphotos.bsky.social and taken at a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event. #YuGiOh #YGOCosplay #YugiohCosplay #maivalentine

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 some beautiful photos by @ctpphotos.bsky.social from the @costumeandcamera.bsky.social subscriber shoot last year. I’m planning on wearing this gown to a concert tomorrow at the Folger Shakespeare Library. #regencyfashion #historicalcostuming #cosplayphotography

Gloria here, sharing some beautifully atmospheric shots by @bradbehlesphoto.bsky.social from the March @costumeandcamera.bsky.social meetup at Congressional Cemetery. I really get a mood of Max in a Vienna church from these photos. #maxliebermann #viennablood #cosplayphotography #costumeandcamera

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, with a lovely photo by @lo8is.bsky.social from a @costumeandcamera.bsky.social event last year at Walnut Hill Manor. I love the spring colors. Spring is very much here in DC (complete with pollen)! #regency #regencycostume #cosplayphotography #costumeandcamera

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!
