We are happy to welcome back Cubster as our official roaming photographer!

Tickets available now at www.hsvexpo.com

“My name is Eli. and I am known as Cubster “

Based out of East Tennessee , I have been published in several cosplay Magazines, such as Cosplayzine and Cosplay Realm Magazine among other online publications, along with making a Guest appearance on several in state and out of state conventions. I also have served as, Cosplay Programing Director and cosplay judge, as I also partake in the cosplay and props making.

Without a doubt, photography is my passion. I enjoy every aspect of photography from conception to session and putting my creative touches on the final image during post-production. From practical effects to post editing effects, my photography has a way to stand out and I try to create new ideas to keep it as unpredictable and with a fresh look for my fans and clients while bringing each cosplay to life.

I love being able to inspire and mentor others to follow their dreams and passions. I feel as though I'm a teacher or mentor at heart and I love that I can pass on the knowledge I've gained through experience to others while doing what I love, create unique, one-of-a-kind art through photography. I am also a founding Member and Mentor of Lion’s Den Studios , a Non-profit working with youth and providing an outlet through photography and videography services in Birmingham Al . My number one priority when photographing anyone but especially a cosplayer is to be supportive, spread body positivity, be engaging and uplifting, make them feel comfortable while reassuring them that they look fantastic which helps to boost their self-esteem and make sure they're happy with all aspects of their session.
