Cosplay is a Japanese term that stands for "costume play", and is used to describe dressing up as a fictional comic book, anime, movie, video game, or cartoon character. Cosplay is considered to be a type of performance art, and cosplay photography is the art of capturing that performance. The art of cosplay is the art of replicating or adapting a particular character from popular media.
Fantasy photography is related to cosplay photography in that the model or models are recreating a character; however, unlike cosplay the character is drawn from a theme or genre rather than being a reproduction or reimagining of a specific character.
