Collab - D'Ursel cosplay day (2024)

Eventhough many September days in 2024 feel more like November days, on Sunday the 15th it was good to be outside.

Time for some aggressive fiddle playing

Outside in the park of castle d'Ursel in Hingene the infamous Geert had gathered yet again a mass of cosplayers & photogs and as always I had hidden my set, this time behind an old wall.
No line of sight onto the castle, but perfect for "Cosplayers with natural light" & some "Extreme shoot through".

Why not use the castle as a backdrop, you might ask?  It's a pretty castle, yes. It has one really interesting side, alas it was too crowded to build a set & get a constant, uninterupted view. On a quiet day I'll gladly combine the front of the castle with an epoque gown.. but that Sunday was NOT a quiet day.

First a few useful links:

All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here!
▷ A "How to download stills from Flickr" tutorial was posted here.
▷ Some highlights might go to Instagram or even Threads.
▷ The video will go to Clapper & to Tiktok
▷ Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi
▷ Updates are on THE Facebook.
▷ Give a follow to this young creative foundation: Deep Red Noise vzw/asbl and take a spin on #TheRed360 (incl. a new Tiktok account)

D'Ursel Cosplay Day (2024)

Update: 100% of all stills have been edited & uploaded
(Sorry if you have to check the gallery again every few days, because YES; as a RAW-shooter, I edit/upload slower than a JPG-shooter and there is a hierarchy in editing urgency: payed events have max priority, then come the payed client shoots, then unpaid events, then TFP-shoots, then come fun & personal shots and finally: experiments and tests).

Actually I have very little else to add.. I worked, was too a-social & focussed to ask for names or socials, forgot to eat all day, had some Red Bull and worked some more. Big thumbs up for those who jumped over the wall onto my set. To be honest I didn't see anything of what happened beyond those 100m².

Except: yes, I was on time for the evening concert of Heilung! And I can't stop talking about how amazing that amplified history tribal/pagan neo-folk performance was.

While you wait and if you suspect you might have been photographed during another costume event in the past 18 years then here is a good starting point to search.
In 2026 I'll be celebrating 20 years of cosplay photography & 30 years of photography. Time to retire!
