VCON40 - Day 3 and 4

10/15/2015

1 Comment

 
VCON - Vancouver's premier sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming convention - recently had their 40th convention, held at theSheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. This year's theme was "time travel" and I was honored to be invited by VCON to join in the fun for four days and be their photographer for the weekend. With so much to see and do, I got a lot of opportunity to take in and capture many events like: cosplay; gaming; speakers/panels; workshops; dances; contests; and so much more to keep you in geek nirvana. 

Here are some highlights from the last two days (October 3rd and 4th) at VCON40. You can also check out the images from Day 1 & 2 here: http://www.leahthomphotography.com/blog/vcon40-day-1-and-2

VCON40 - Day 1 and 2

 VCON - Vancouver's premier sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming convention - recently had their 40th convention, held at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. This year's theme was "time travel" and I was honored to be invited by VCON to join in the fun for four days and be their photographer for the weekend. With so much to see and do, I got a lot of opportunity to take in and capture many events like: cosplay; gaming; speakers/panels; workshops; dances; contests; and so much more to keep you in geek nirvana. On the second night, there was even a live "Fandom Feud" game show. Hilarity ensued.

Here are some highlights from the first two days (October 1st and 2nd) at VCON40. Stay tuned for the upcoming blog post featuring day 3 and 4!

VCON40 Cosplay

10/12/2015

Last week, I was invited to take photos for VCON - Vancouver's premier science-fiction, fantasy, and gaming convention. While sorting through the thousands of photos I took of the four-day event, I pulled out the images to share from one of my favorite parts of the convention - Cosplay. For those who don't know, Cosplay is a portmanteau of the words "costume play", is a performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character. Most of the participants at VCON made their costumes from scratch, which is a requirement when competing for the glory, bragging rights, and often a nifty prize. I met so many talented and amazing cosplayers who put a lot of work, love, and perseverance into their art.

Fan Expo Vancouver

One of my favorite annual conventions here in Vancouver is Fan Expo. A glorious three-day event where comic, anime/manga, and sci-fi fans congregate with creators, artists, experts, and guest stars. At this geeky shangri-la you'll find; lots of great photo ops, opportunities to meet and greet some awesome celebrities, many panels and workshops to attend, shopping, parties, and one of my favorite parts; cosplay.

What is cosplay? It's a portmanteau of the words "costume play", and is a performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Most of all, it's fun. Although I didn't cosplay myself when I went the last couple years (aside from wearing my Soft Kitty hoodie), but I did get to meet Stan Lee in 2013 and thanked him for the Marvel Universe. Bucket List: CHECK!

This year, Fan Expo is during the Easter long weekend (April 3 - 5) so I will only be able to attend one day this year instead of the usual three, but I'd like to share some highlights from the last two conventions until then.
