Topography of cosplay photography at Anime Expo

Cosplay photography is a thrilling, impressive, and exceptional event at every Anime Expo. Although people usually focus on capturing images of cosplayers, there has been little consideration given in the past to how these young people's activities relate to the public space they use. This piece seeks to record the distinctive humanistic scenery of youths carrying out activities in public areas that have momentarily been turned into "stages," all while minimizing interruption to the ongoing cosplay photography sessions to the best of our ability.
