Every year, I set myself a yearly challenge to help myself improve my photography so my skills doesn’t plateau or show no signs of improving. There is always something new in both cosplay and photography that can be learned each year.
This year will be extremely hard as with covid-19 restrictions being placed on the UK when I write, knowing what I can do will be hard to predict as unknown what I can do when restriction will be lifted.
BETTER POSE TO BETTER STORY TELL
As stated last year, I want to concentrate on improving my “Story Telling” in my photography. I’ve admire so many peoples work who seem to tell a story such as my friend Anna S Photography who took this photo below.
But recently, really have admire the work of Carlos Adama who has been creating work like this.
Experiment with self-photography
In the absence of the ability to travel and take photos, I want to set up a day in my home and take photos of myself and see where my creativity goes. I’ve been really inspired by Charlotte Woolrych self-photography and see if I can learn anything.
Not too sure if I will be uploading any photo from this project, but time will tell.
MORE LOCATION & STUDIO SHOOTS
This is a repeat of last years challenge to myself.
I want to do more location shoots both cosplay and fashion shoot. I’ve started venturing out into different areas of photography with my other photography brand, AitchKayCee.
I feel like I should have promoted myself more for more location shoots over last year. I am going to share more photos I did shoot on locations over the years and remind people I can be hired for location shoots.
I also want to shoot in studios this year. I was fortunate enough to have shot photos Montrose Studio in Manchester and it was amazing. Just everything what I needed to learn and use at this studio. I hope to improve my skills in a studio environment.
To keep up with my progress, please follow me on my social media pages or posts on this website.

The Classic Batman TV series, to my memory was my first real exposure to superhero media- my parents were both the right age to watch the show growing up, and around the time I was 4 or 5 I remember knowing when Batman would air on TV land in the evenings. Even as a kid I remember loving how over-the-top the show was, even being amazed that the Batmobile had its own computer. I’d watch the movie very frequently on DVD on car rides, the Shark Repellant Bat-Spray and the bomb run scenes especially stuck with me (as I’m sure they do most people) I had watched all the movies that came after it, and though I thought they were great, Adam West always immediately came to mind whenever I’d think of Batman.
What I did NOT really expect though was the level of interaction that this character can evoke at conventions. The bomb was always a clear accessory choice to bring to conventions because of how famous that scene is, but I remember the first time I wore the costume this incredible thing happening where I decided to lift the bomb over my head and start running, and the crowds of people IMMEDIATELY recognized what was happening and parted to allow me through. In those moments, it felt like even more of my responsibility to bring the spirit of the Bright Knight as much as I could.
My absolute favorite part about wearing it, especially at New York Comic Con, is the discussions I get to have with people about the show. I don’t think i really understood just how special this version of Batman was to so many people beforehand. Getting to talk wit people about fond memories of their childhood watching the show as it released, perhaps people recalling being introduced to the show by their own parents, and parents explaining who Adam West and his Batman were always bring a smile to my face, knowing that all sorts of extremely different people share similar fond memories as I do with the character makes me happy to have brought the suit out and been able to put a nostalgic smile on their face. At this year’s NYCC when I wore it, perhaps my favorite memory in it was a father asking me to take a photo with his young son, who was dressed in a Pattinson style batman outfit- there was just some symbolism present there that reminded me of how crazy this incredible cross-generational impact of Batman as a character is, and makes me think about how much of that wouldn’t have happened had Adam West never put on the cowl.

This week’s Cosplays We Like comes from Jason Todd from the Batman franchise.
Jason Peter Todd is a captivating character in the DC Comics universe. Jason Todd was created to succeed Dick Grayson as Robin, Batman’s partner and sidekick. Like Grayson, he suffered a tragic loss—his parents were killed by criminals in Gotham City. Adopted by Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jason became the second Robin. In the current continuity, Jason is a more nuanced antihero. His relationship with Batman remains tense but partially mended. He is a full member of the Batman family. Jason Todd’s journey is one of tragedy, rebirth, and the blurred line between heroism and vengeance in the gritty world of Gotham City.

I’ve always wanted to be Lara Croft because of how strong, confident, bold, and how fun she is as a character . My cosplay journey started back in 2016 when I was inspired to do a genderbend Lara Croft cosplay. I started learning how to make costumes out from scratch by watching others online make their cosplay from scratch from different material.
My Lara Croft cosplay has dramatically increased from starting off with using cardboard to build the classic backpack and holsters to knowing how to work with eva foam, hand paint, other materials to make the backpack, holsters, boots, other accessories! I also have found new and better ways to build my costume pieces compared to the more simplistic why I used tk start out. Also from the character perspective my poses and facial expressions has evolved as well I pose better as Lara Croft now and have more of a variety of poses now compared to when I first started
Cosplay has taught me that it’s okay to be myself and to love feeling like a badass in character. I used to get put down so much for simply being me and looking like me from my past and cosplay has shown me that I am awesome and I am good enough and I am not what happened to me in rhe past.
My definition of being successful in cosplay is when you actually start to realize you enjoy what you do. It’s not about the fame or followers count. It’s about feeling free and happiness and content with what you put out there and to inspire someone else to do the same thing you are doing? That speaks volumes! That to me is success! Cosplay shouldn’t feel like dreading work! It should feel like a fantasy world!
