I am absolutely LIVING for all the beautiful models in these photos. Unfortunately, Chance didn't provide any in the interview, but believe me, they are definitely worth checking out. All the beautiful Black and Asian models. It is unfortunate that in my experience, you don't get to see as many Black cosplayers, and unless you shoot in Japan, you don't really get Asian cosplayers either. I am absolutely for cosplay equality, (as well as all others, obviously) and believe that size, shade, and skill should all be celebrated. So, if you're on instagram, definitely go check out CreatebyChance.
