How come CLU?

“I wish there was an easy way of knowing who’ll be there and what they’re cosplaying.” —Me

After attending my second convention I realized there wasn’t a reliable simple way of knowing which cosplayers were attending which events. You might be thinking, “well that’s what social media does”, but does it? It didn’t for me. Algorithms change constantly keeping posts from reaching followers, most followers forget to go directly to your account, and so many people try to refrain from social media for sanity purposes these days. I knew creating an intuitive and “automated” cosplayer directory would keep everyone connected in a positive refreshing way!

As a cosplay fan and photographer with limited time and resources to attend as many cons as I’d like, CLU helps me and others like me with limited resources prioritize which cons to attend!

Who are you?

“I’m Batman!”

Okay, not really. But like him I’ve never wanted the spotlight. My style is behind the camera, not in front of the lens. What matters most is who you are and how I can help you - “this is the way” COSPLAY LINE-UP succeeds. I whole-heartedly invite you to join the line-up today!

Alright, since you’ve scrolled this far…

I’m a fan of people more than anything! People matter most in life. That’s why I love photography, social events, creativity, sharing ideas, and bringing people together. From the first photo I snapped on B&W film in high school I realized the giving-power of photography. After meeting several cosplayers at my first con I knew I wanted to help cosplayers of all experience levels feel acknowledged and appreciated by connecting them with fans and photographers at events around the country. But this only works if you become part of the COSPLAY LINE-UP community - register for early access to our official platform now!

Did you scroll all this way to see if I’m actually Batman?

All I can say is, you’ve never seen Batman and I in the same room at the same time, so….

…alright alright alright!
