We cover a review of Kamui Cosplay’s book that’s all about cosplay photography. With conventions moving back to in-person events, we thought this would be a great time to take a look at this book and see what it’s about. Are the overviews and tips helpful for cosplayers to learn how to take a photo and pose for the camera?
