Had the pleasure of meeting Dare (@daretaylorofficial) at WonderCon 2022, and it was truly a fantastic experience.
Despite being a very popular Instagram influencer and well-known cosplayer, daretaylorofficial was incredibly kind, friendly, and approachable. In fact, after photographing cosplayers for many years at conventions and cosplay events, I can honestly say that daretaylorofficial is one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve had the opportunity to meet. Unfortunately, many individuals with large social media followings can sometimes come across as distant or stuck-up; however, daretaylorofficial was the complete opposite and made the interaction genuinely enjoyable.
Additionally, their passion for cosplay, creativity, and engagement with fans was evident throughout the event. It’s always refreshing to meet someone who remains humble and authentic despite their success and popularity within the cosplay community.
Once again, thank you so much for your time, daretaylorofficial. Besides following their Instagram account, be sure to visit their official website, daretaylor.com, where you can find an extensive collection of amazing cosplay photos, creative content, and impressive costume work.
Furthermore, there were simply too many photos to upload directly, so I captured screenshots from the Google Drive folder where I had originally emailed the images for delivery. As shown in the Instagram DM conversation, the photos were provided through email, making it easier to share the full collection of convention photography from the event.
