This cosplay was created by my amazingly talented daughter Kristington for a creative photography class I'm taking at the California Photography Center taught by Ramiro Gaytan.
This version more closely resembles the "Wax King" created by Rebecca Petrie Light Alchemist (on the right) than the first image I posted. Link to the "Wax King" http://bit.ly/3dwDKvb

This cosplay was created by my amazingly talented daughter Kristington for a creative photography class I'm taking at the California Photography Center taught by Ramiro Gaytan. This look was inspired by an image of Rebecca Petrie Light Alchemist called the Wax King which can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/Rebecca-Petrie-Light-Alchemist-1612786585639290/photos/1793411157576831

Kristington created this amazing look the night before class mostly with things she had on hand (a cloak, old rug, candles and an old wig). She purchased the flowers. She really wanted to light the candles for the photos but I wasn't comfortable with that. So of course she goes home and lights them, lol! You can see the video she posted on her page.

I'll post more of the images in the next few days.

This is the first event I have photographed since the Coronavirus shutdown started. Working Wardrobes suffered a devastating loss on February 3rd when their Irvine headquarters was destroyed by a fire. Yesterday was a celebration of the opening of their new Donation Center.
