PhotographerJason Laboy recently captured this Game of Thrones cosplay jamboree in New York’s Central Park, and not only did it feature a whole lot of swords, but a ring as well.
First, the cosplay! And when I say the shoot involved “everyone” from the show, I’m not kidding: most of the Stark family turned up, as did some Wildlings, the Clegane brothers, Daenerys and her crew and one hell of a Cersei Lannister.
The cosplayers involved were *deep breath* Casterly Fox (Cersei), Sutton Family Cosplay (The Mountain, Lady Lyanna Mormont & Meera Reed), Loren Omer (Catelyn Stark), Sparrow Song (Arya), Odd Freya (Bran), Jesse Bonelli (Robb Stark), Kira Kelly (Sansa), imdrawingablank(Melisandre), Khaleesibeth(Daenerys), Andrew Campbell (The Hound), Kevin Von Close (Tormund), princessmarquet(Daenerys & Ygritte), Luis Monserrate (The Night King), Tim Snow (Grey Worm), soobutterrican(Messandie), Mathieu Archambault (Jon Snow S7), Vaios Ely Soriano (Jon Snow Night’s Watch) & Jake(Oberyn Martell).
Everyone looks very mean and angry and smug when appropriate, but in the middle of the shoot character was broken when The Mountain surprised Cersei with a proposal.
Maybe there’ll be happy endings in Westeros after all.
