Photo by @Gerd Ludwig // on assignment in Russia. In the living room of their small apartment in Zelenograd in the outskirts of Moscow, a dedicated young cosplay couple - he a banker and she an interior designer - act out a cosplay performance. Cosplay, a shortening of the words costume and play, is a performance art during which participants wear costumes, masks, and accessories to depict specific characters. Cosplayers are a subculture who convene at festivals or perform on or apart from stages. The characters stem from comic books and cartoons, live-action films, or video games. Cosplaying initially became a popular culture phenomenon in Japan but has since spread worldwide. The photograph appeared in my recent story on the Putin Generation, which examines the attitudes and outlooks of young people in Russia and was published in the December issue of @ナショナルジオグラフィック.
Instagram now has a new feature making it possible to post multiple images as a gallery - view my latest post using this new feature to see more cosplayers in Moscow at @Gerd Ludwig.
