April Carvelli Avatar

FAN EXPO Chicago 2023 returned to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center on August 10th and ran though August 13th for their 2023 show.

This is the last of my Friday coverage, which happens to be pics from the red carpet. My photos are not nearly as good as the professionals that were on-site to specially take the Red Carpet photos. The ones you really want to check out are:

Moorcroft Photography LLC – Joshua Bindewald-Moore, a.k.a. Moorcroft, is a passionately creative photographer who is apparently pretty darn fast at editing his fantastic photos as they are ready to go. You can find his Red Carpet photos here and the Costume Contest Photos here.
