The Cosplays of Otakon '22 Day One - July 29, 2022

I was not able to arrive until around 1:30 pm as I had my other 7-4pm job but was able to leave early. I had my first interview at 3pm and the K-Pop concert was at 5pm so time was constrained. Everyone was super friendly and excited to be there. There were small clusters of people around as it was the first day. After my interview, a line had built up outside the upstairs Ballroom doors with separate entrances for VIP and reserved seating. By the first day, I noticed a great place to take photos is at the top of the second floor stairs by the main entrance, but there will be a lot of people in the background. You also have to play with lighting if you want a window shot.
