For the Zelda: Breath of the Wild cosplayers, we regret to inform you the photo shoot has been cancelled as our Forest Dweller Camera has broken and our Guardian Camera is badly damaged. Please also note the Batman family photos are cancelled indefinitely…
All kidding aside, we are excited about scheduling photo shoots with the amazing cosplayers who attend CoreCon. If you have a group of friends and don’t see a specific shoot scheduled that fits your genre then let us know. We might be able to fix it. Email photography@fargocorecon.org before the convention or stop in the photography room (look for posters or ask in Ops) and they will get you in touch with a CoreCon sanctioned photographer during the convention. Prints will be available for purchase also.
Unless otherwise specified, meet by registration in the main hall.

Saturday Photo Shoots:

The Adult and Kids Costume Masquerades will be covered, as well as the Fur Suit Parade. If there are special events your Fansuite or group want covered then email photography@fargocorecon.org. If you are a cosplayer looking for an individual shoot, we will have many worthy photographers available:
- Ivan from “IVR Photo” comes down from Winnipeg and has been shooting conventions for years. Look for his panel on Conventions and Cosplaying.
- Louis of “Louis R. Zurn Photography” is a camera wiz and does it all from digital to film of all sorts, as well as some antique processes as old as photography itself.
- Doug from “Bee & Bee Cosplay Photography” will be doing what he can to help build a stronger cosplay community in Fargo. Look for his panel on Cosplay Posing with BBDesign Cosplay.
- Karissa from “Bee & Bee Photography” has lent her skills to CoreCon and over 90% of CoreCon’s published media for the last three years has been her work.
If you appreciate the volunteer work these photographers are doing then please like their Facebook pages and give them some love. Also thank Lauren and Sheryl who will also be shooting and assisting.
