Cosplay, a shortening of the words costume and play, is a performance art during which participants wear costumes, masks, and accessories to depict specific characters. Cosplayers are a subculture who convene at festivals or perform on or apart from stages. The characters stem from comic books and cartoons, live-action films, or video games. Cosplaying initially became a popular culture phenomenon in Japan but has since spread worldwide.
While photographing an upcoming National Geographic story, I was surprised how popular Cosplay is amongst the Russian youth - possibly a non-political escape from an otherwise demanding reality, marked by a struggling economy and an increasing loss of civil liberties.
