Photography by Cosmeetup Chicago

Cosmeetup Chicago is a social networking group of photographers and cosplayers in the Chicago geek community. Their mission is to provide unique safe spaces for local photographers and cosplayers to meet, collaborate, learn, raise money for local charities, and simply have fun.

Established in 2019, the group started by organizing in-person cosplay photography meet-ups in unique locations throughout the city of Chicago including Lincoln Park, Chinatown, Labagh Woods, University of Chicago, Jackson Park, Montrose Beach, and throughout the Chicagoland area. While meet-ups are still at the core of the group, they also host photography classes, virtual events, convention after-parties, holiday parties, and pop-up studios at conventions.
