I first met Astella (now by.astella @stel.hua was astella.cos) at Anime Pasadena 2022. From the start, they (stelhua) were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic about their cosplay. I quickly realized stelhua passion for the art form, especially when it came to Genshin Impact characters. Their dedication to crafting her own style of costumes is truly inspiring.

As a cosplay photographer based in Southern California, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing countless amazing cosplayers at anime conventions. One such cosplayer who I seem to keep missing at cons and events is Astella, now known as @stel.hua on Instagram.

Astella’s Genshin Impact costumes are particularly impressive. The attention to detail and overall quality are top-notch. If you’re a fan of cosplay or Genshin Impact, I highly recommend checking out her Instagram page, @stel.hua. You won’t be disappointed! Been a follower ever since I took their photos.

Since our initial meeting, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph Astella at multiple Anime Expo Chibi events and other conventions around Southern California. Her talent and versatility as a cosplayer never cease to amaze me. Even though our paths haven’t crossed as often as I’d like, I always look forward to the chance to capture her next incredible cosplay.

Maid cosplay is a charming theme that allows cosplayers to reimagine characters in elegant and captivating outfits. Her Instagram page, @stel.hua, must be a treasure trove for fans of cosplay and the game alike! What are your thoughts about the maid cosplay? Of course Genshin Impact is very popular game with tons of other skins for Mona. I do not play but love the many different characters. It’s hard to just pick one. Which is your favorite and do you play too?
