Velma! (Auckgeddon 2015)
These pictures are a liiiittle old, taken in 2015. Whoops! I can definitely see how much my photography has grown since then, but I still love these photos.
Velma is JVCA cosplay, both a good friend and a stunning cosplayer. Go check out her Scout Harding, it’s incredible!

Harry Potter (Aug ’15)
The Auckland Wintergardens sure are something else. Magical almost, maybe even a little like Hogwarts. Less giant squid though.

Kill La Kill (April ’15)
Tahlee is one of my favourite cosplayers—made even better by the fact she’s a good friend, too. She can make even the simplest costumes stand out, and she’s super cute to boot.

It’s been well over a month since the fact, but the biggest New Zealand Armageddon, Auckland Armageddon—aka Auckgeddon—has come and gone for the year. I meant to write this the week after the fact, time sure got away from me!
This year was just as busy as last—if not moreso—filled with truly lovely people and spectacular cosplay. Saturday was absolutely packed, it felt like being stuck in a can filled with sardines (note: I’ve never been stuck in a sardine can, but I imagine it’s smelly.)
My favourite part of the con, as always, was the cosplay. Every year, and I’m not exaggerating here, I get to the con and I say, “man, the cosplay community has really raised the bar this year.” Every year! And I’m never wrong when I say this.

One of the first characters I ever wanted to be was Leia Organa. Or Supergirl. A force-sensitive princess, a super-powered alien gal — they were both basically everything a four-year-old Saf could ever have dreamt of being. And while I didn’t know it at the time, they were the first characters I ever felt the urge to cosplay.
