eosAndy - Gamers should know him just as well as cosplayers

Our HI-TECH for Gamers partner eosAndy not only captivates with his photography. The stories behind his journey, various photoshoots, and his passion for the cosplay scene add an extra layer of depth to his work. That's why we want to give you a sneak peek into some of these backgrounds.

A Brief Introduction to eosAndy

About 25 years ago, he started with photography. His first inspiration was the birth of his daughter. These were likely the first emotions that eosAndy wanted to capture forever. Perhaps this sparked a flame that still burns today: authenticity and atmosphere. Only with these principles can the miracle of birth be captured photographically. After this initial inspiration, eosAndy's path first led him to the world of sports. Only later did his personal passions guide him into the cosplay world. eosAndy himself cites history and strong characters as examples of these passions. His responses also reveal a general affinity for gaming, which was likely far from insignificant on this journey.

Dedication to the Extreme

In an almost unprecedented story, eosAndy can tell of a photoshoot in Pripyat, the ghost town of Chernobyl. For a cosplay shoot themed around The Last of Us, he traveled with cosplayer Ben to this unparalleled setting. It can be argued that there is no better location worldwide for a post-apocalyptic photoshoot. Anyone who sees the atmospheric and authentic photo series will likely find few counterarguments. Moreover, this choice of location is proof of eosAndy’s dedication to his art.

ChatGPT on Safety in Pripyat:

Staying in Pripyat – the city near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant – is now possible under certain conditions and for limited periods. There are clear regulations and physical limits defining visit durations to minimize health risks from radiation.
One- or two-day trips with stays of a few hours per day are safe for healthy adults, provided all safety precautions are followed. The radiation dose absorbed during a typical day tour (approx. 5–10 µSv) is roughly equivalent to a transatlantic flight or a chest X-ray.

It should be noted, however, that Ukraine is currently (as of mid-2025) in a state of war!

eosAndy on the Cosplay Scene

To start this section, let’s quote the artist himself:

"The scene is growing. The community is alive."

This clearly positive outlook on the scene stems from the constant advancements in technologies and skills within the industry. 3D printing represents a mid-sized revolution, allowing even more fantasies and visions to be brought into our real world with greater detail.

This development in cosplay comes with increasing attention. The scene is gaining more opportunities to present itself impressively through a growing number of talented photographers.

For ambitious newcomers to the cosplay scene, eosAndy naturally recommends the numerous YouTube tutorials. But cosplays also need to be brought into the real world. Therefore, eosAndy recommends attending a selection of important conventions:

• Dokomi
• Fantasy Basel
• RolePlayVerse

Quote: "There you’ll find inspiration, meet like-minded people, exchange ideas, and get support for new projects."
