Cosplay Photography
For brand campaigns, shot from your brief
Your brief. Your audience. Cosplay content that looks like a campaign, not a convention snapshot.
I'm Martin Wong, a photographer and content creator based in Los Angeles, and I work with brands wherever the campaign is. Cosplayers I've photographed have gone up on giant digital billboards the same day, and my portraits have run on Times Square.
Brands don't just hire my camera. They get over 20 years of shooting, cosplay since 2009, a YouTube channel where I share behind the scenes from my shoots, and a name built on shoots with creators like Valkyrae, Jessica Nigri, Stella Chuu and CDawgVA.

Not Your Usual Event Photographer
- Built from your brief. I plan the shoot around your goal, your audience and where the images run, not just whatever walks past the camera.
- Work that runs big. Same-day convention billboards, Times Square placements, and campaign images that have to hold up at scale.
- Trusted by game and camera brands. Invited onto brand booths and campaign floors at major conventions, with clients across games, cameras, streaming and esports.
- A name and a channel behind the work. My YouTube channel shares behind the scenes from my shoots, and cosplay fans know my work with Valkyrae, Jessica Nigri, Stella Chuu and CDawgVA.
- Production, not just coverage. Lighting setups, smoke, a rain room and a 360 drone on set, from over 20 years of shooting.
