Markster Con Production's popular Cosplay Photo mini-Con — HAIR OF THE DRAGON — returns for a 10th year on Feb. 26, 2022!

MAIN WEBSITE: CosplayPhotoCon.com

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, now in it's 10th year.

Likened by many as a "cosplay photo mini-con" attendees will have opportunities to work with many 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.

HAIR OF THE DRAGON, a cosplay photo studio party, is also a great opportunity for cosplayers to mingle and network with their cosplay peers all under the same roof for this annual event. Multiple dressing rooms available on-site also offers the ability for cosplayers to showcase more than one of their creations during the event.

The host venue, Studio Space Atlanta, is truly an awesome and unique space that will provide the right atmosphere with multiple studios for cosplayers to finally get those elusive photos they so often desire.

Access to the resulting digital photos (included in admission) will be posted on www.HairOfTheDragon.com afterwards (as photographers finish their edits). This event is BYOB for attendees with finger foods available (while it lasts).
