March 4 — Hair Of The Dragon — Atlanta, Georgia
Cosplayers spend many hours, weeks and sometimes months working on their beloved cosplays but so often never have a good opportunity to get top-notch photos in their amazing creations. With that being said, we invite all levels of cosplayers to one of Atlanta’s most unique events, HAIR OF THE DRAGON: Cosplay Photo mini-Con, now in it’s 10th year.
Likened by many as a “cosplay photo mini-con” attendees will have opportunities to work with over 20 well-established professional photographers (who will be “Featured” and set-up around STUDIO SPACE ATLANTA, a multi-use studio) as well as several other photographers “roaming” the event space.

Cardboard*Con is the first and only science fiction / fantasy convention dedicated to the art of cardboard costuming. Encompassing more than 3 Atlanta downtown hotels, Cardboard*Con will has become a tradition among all fun-loving nerds. The SECRET of Cardboard*Con is that there really isn’t a plan – you have to make it fun all by yourself, using your imagination and your manners.
