C2E2 2022 – A Few of Our Favorite Things
As you might expect, there was a high volume of cosplayers to be found in and around Cosplay Corner all weekend long. Several years ago, they started putting up a couple backdrops for cosplayers to use when taking photos of their outfits, and this year was no exception. This year, there was a throne with a couple crowns in front of an impressive hall, a treasure hoard in front of a musty cave, and a tent and other assorted camping equipment in front of a forest. They might not match everyone’s cosplays exactly, but it can provide some fun juxtaposition or at least change it up from the standard convention hall photos.
Here are some more cosplay photos I snagged on Friday of C2E2, including some of the backdrops!
