Every Halloween, some of my cosplay creator friends and I gather to do a themed photoshoot, and this year’s theme was Goth Vampire. 🦇
What started as a casual hangout turned into an epic collaboration filled with fog machines, RGB lights, and late-night creative chaos. I wasn’t even planning to make a video… until halfway through, I realized I had to show you how these shoots actually come together behind the scenes.
