- Shao Khan: “The Earth was created in six days; so too shall it be destroyed; and on the seventh day, mankind will rest in peace!” ✊🏽

Who remembers this iconic quote from Mortal Kombat Annihilation? Looking back at these photos of Jason Aulicino at Dragon Con 2019 reminds so much the movie. I’ll never forget this shoot no matter how much time passes. 7 YEARS AGO feels like just yesterday. Seeing this character brought to life was a forever highlight for me. Thanks for working with me. I would do it all over again and again.

- Shao Khan: “You weak, pathetic fool! Bow to me!”

Jason Aulicino is THEE BEST I have ever seen in this suit. The energy he brought with it for the shoot speaks for itself in these photos. Can’t believe this is from 7 YEARS AGO at Dragon Con 2019. WOW. Time sure has flown by but the memories will last forever. One of my favorite shoots of all time.

- Shao Khan: “Kneel before your Emperor.” 👑

Working with Jason Aulicino back in 2019 at Dragon Con was TRULY a highlight of that weekend. He brought such an unmatched professionalism and openness to each shoot. I can’t wait to work with him again someday. I wish everyone at DragonCon this weekend a fun filled time. Make memories and have a blast.

🖤 Here is Will () once again in his Dino Thunder Black / AbareBlack cosplay from our 2021 shoot. Going back through this set, I realize just how much joy I had capturing these images. If anyone else was going to wear this iconic suit other than himself, it would be Will for me. Someone who is a selfless defender but also a dedicated protector at the same time. There is no better choice out there. I’m glad we got these photos when we did. 🖤

🖤 This is my recreation tribute of the legendary comic covers for Dino Thunder Black / AbareBlack, featuring Will () in his cosplay. Another great shot turned into a memory I will never forget. Such a great time and weekend we had back in 2021. I am thankful I got the opportunity to capture this. I think Jason David Frank would be proud of how it turned out had he seen it. 🖤

Dr. Tommy Oliver: “Give me a break, it’s been a while.”

🖤 Here is Will () in his Dino Thunder Black / AbareBlack cosplay from our shoot in 2021. I never got around to posting this set for some reason. It’s one of my faves that came from that weekend. Looks like it is fresh from screen. Will did such a phenomenal job in this suit. I love working with only the best. I just wish had gotten to see it. 🖤

- Houou Ranger! 💖 Tenpūsei Rin! 💖

Being an avid fan of Gosei Sentai Dairanger, I love this helmet and its design. Modeled after the Phoenix, it looks so clean and sharp. Thank you to .hero for letting me shoot this one. I can’t wait until we pair it with other helmets to make more stellar shots happen next time.

- I call this one, “SHADES OF PINK”….💖💖

When .hero shoots one helmet with me, he brings them ALL, just in case, for moments like this! 💖 What can I say, great minds think alike! 💖

I might need to get a print of this autographed. 💖
