Over the weekend,photographer Sacha Goldberger took part in an exhibitionat the Grand Palais in Paris. His show was all about taking cosplayers back to the Renaissance. Both his images and the costume work are simply out of this world.
I mean, just look at them. Everything about them is perfect. The demure modelling, the photos that have turned out like centuries-old paintings, the design work (and construction) that went into each costumeā¦itās truly one of the most awe-inspiring cosplay projects Iāve ever seen, and Iāve seen a lot
Note that these arenāt fakes, or photoshop fantasy: a small army of people, from costumers to cosplayers to models to hairdressers to make-up stylists were involved. So thatās not a computer making Leia (Sabine Graissaguel) look like Carrie Fisher, or Superman (Jonathan Tuil) look like Christopher Reeve. Thatās their regular human faces, transformed with make-up and lighting.
You can see more of the images at Sachaās Facebook page and personal site (though judging by the credits there are way more pics that arenāt viewable online, so if you got to see it in person, lucky you!).
