Last December, cosplayers Yaya Han, MostFlogged, Anna Elizabeth, Wilbert Rivera, Martin Miller & Cyrstal Lee gathered in a beautiful townhouse on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for the cover photo shoot for the digital magazine, Champion!.

Champion! Magainze offers previews and reviews of comic books, toys, television, movies and more. The first 2012 issue features an exclusive cover, photographs and a costumed cosplay photo essay by pop culture icon Howard Stern, with true fans dressed in their own detailed recreations of their favorite comic characters from Marvel’s Scarlet Witch to Star Wars hero Chewbacca.

With my camera in hand I also had the chance to attend the shoot, so stay tuned for the behind the scenes photos to come. Thanks to the cosplayers & the crew at Champion! for the experience!
