Since 2013, Steamkittens has been one of the biggest names in Australian cosplay photography. Working his way around the country building a strong reputation, one con at a time. His inclusive philosophy has always been to shoot anyone who wanted a photo for free, as long as they’re happy to wait their turn.
He has established the new norms in cosplay photography with his approach to lighting and colour, leaving a lasting impression and influence on the cosplay scene by bringing his design background into his images and compositions.
What used to be long queues soon evolved into a con-friendly electronic queuing system that messages you when it’s your turn to pose under the lights.
“Steamkittens manages to capture us in a way that makes us look how we dream we are meant to look, with all of the drama and spectacle and attention to detail that we source our inspiration from in the first place. He is an absolute wonder. I am so thankful that the convention has provided such a unique and awesome opportunity to engage with one of the greatest contributors to the cosplay community” – Indefinitely India Cosplay
