Travis de Valle, Becoming Icons (PEOPLE 2024)

Once a year over 100 heroes, villains, magical creatures, supernatural beings and countless other walks of life from the realms fantasy, science-fiction, gaming and pop culture descend on Australia's smallest capital city, in Hobart. Icon Cosplay Photo Festival invites cosplayers from across the country to explore Hobart and the beautiful Tasmanian landscapes that surround the city, taking photos in their creations and transporting themselves from their everyday jobs as office workers, nurses, teachers, tradies, and so many more, into the fantastical worlds they share and love within this vibrant community.
