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

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. 😂☀️

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.
