Lady Loki
Here’s one from the archives, my first photoshoot ever: Character: Lady Loki (Marvel) Costume and makeup: by me Photographer: Jaqueline Auty Date: 05/05/2012 This one makes me reflect on my costume history. Technically, I have been sewing since I was taught how to in primary school when I was seven years old (we were making…
Metal Gear Solid 3: Naked Snake
Normal people take walks and admire the scenery, I find a cool location, go home and come back in costume for a photoshoot. This was about a ten minute walk from my house, I shot this on my phone on a tripod using natural lighting. I couldn’t have asked for a more ideal location, a…
Phantom Limbs Kazuhira Miller Cosplay
I shot this one in my bedroom alone, I did the makeup myself, even put vaseline on my face to simulate sweat.
Kazuhira Miller Cosplay
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Costume by me Photography by Sreeraj Sreenivisan Edits by me Location: Fremantle Harbour and Maritime Museum Nearly four months ago I was nearly killed in a hit-and-run, I have no memory of the incident, nor the week that followed. Since then I’ve had to deal with injuries I…
Under the Skin
Photography by Luke Milton Makeup by Kat Winslade This was a shoot that initially arose from the fact that as my hair has been growing out, I noticed a passing resemblance to Scarlett Johansson’s alien femme fatale in Under the Skin. But then I watched the film again and found myself thinking about it a…
Arkham City Bane Cosplay- One Day Build
This was a heap of fun to put together, I was on @thebatminute and one of the hosts, Niall asked if I could make a Bane costume for the promo photo. I couldn’t resist the challenge, in less than a week (and with less than $10) I had to throw this all together and get photos.…
Cosplay Couture- Herbie the Lovebug
Another entry in my Hollywood cars fashion designs (see KITT and KARR, and Christine), I envisioned Herbie as youthful and cheeky, I took elements from 1960’s fashion as well as race car driver uniforms and accessories.

Cars are my life right now, so I was eager to model with them. It was an interesting challenge, I wanted to…

Kira Nerys Deep Space Nine Cosplay
Photographer: Simon Haynes Makeup: Kat Winslade It’s been a long time, but I have returned to cosplay with a character and costume I never expected to like as much as I do. I guess because I was detransitioning while watching DS9, I gravitated towards Kira as she is such a great female character who shows…
Cosplay Couture- Smaug
A fashion redesign of Smaug the dragon from the Hobbit, illustrated back in around 2013
Detroit Become Human Connor Sewing Pattern
It’s finally here, it took a lot of work but the pattern is now available on Etsy
Quorra- Tron Legacy Costume
Here’s another one from the archives, a commission from 2010 to be worn to see Tron Legacy. It did have lights, sadly this is the only photo I still have. Looking back, it’s better than I remembered it, I could do so much better now though. Maybe I will make my own Tron costume one…
Galactus Foam Costume
About four years ago I was studying Librarianship and Record Keeping, and for our prac placement we were to create a project for display. I figured I could put my costume making skills to work here and show the students visiting the school library how foam costumes are designed and assembled. It was a big…
Detroit: Become Human Connor Cosplay 2
The last of the photos from the Detroit: Become Human photoshoot I did back in August last year. I just realised, the August before that, I legally changed my name to Connor after finishing the game. Detroit continues to be an inspiration to me nearly two years later and I plan on making the RK900…
Star Trek TNG: Lore Redesign
I’ve been playing with this one for awhile, to go with my Data redesign. Lore lacks an iconic outfit, I think his Borg costume was the closest he got but it fell short of what it could have been. It was felt Batman abs. This should be Lore coming into his own, becoming a cult…
Doctor Who Kroton the Cyberman Cosplay
Another one from the archives, in 2013 I made my first attempt at foam armour. The Cyberman was a great project for a beginner as it is all incredibly simple shapes. I think the only real mistake I made was not buying good quality thin foam, those areas deteriorated almost instantly. Otherwise the latex paint…
Star Trek TOS Uniform Redesign
Throwback to 2016 I’ve always had a thing for redesigning Star Trek costumes, I think because the real ones are quite camp but have a lot of iconic elements. So it’s a lot of fun to play with as a designer. The intention with this redesign was to incorporate contemporary streetwear aesthetics. Something practical, versatile…
Detroit: Become Human Connor Cosplay
Costume and make-up by Connor Coulson Photography and editing by Marla Bishop Locations: Perth Esplanade, Perth Library A little over a year ago Detroit came into my life when things were at their bleakest, my relationship with my family was fractured, I was homeless, staying with a friend, and on top of that I was…
Commission- Cassian Andor
This commission included making the shirt and altering the trousers. The shirt was a bit of a challenge because there aren’t a lot of clear reference photos, but I believe I have captured every detail faithfully. The “bib” is an unusual detail and a bit difficult to figure out, especially in regards to integrating it…
Commission- Hoods and Tabards
This was an order for six identical hoods and matching tabards for LARP. I was following the customer’s design template. I like working in production line style, it makes me feel more productive. Where as working on one garment at a time feels slower. The beauty of working on relatively simple garments like this is…
Detroit: Become Human Connor Cosplay Process
I have been obsessed with Detroit: Become Human since before it was released, as a fan of all things robots I followed the project with interest. And of course Connor immediately became my favourite character (Ruthless!Connor all the way). I have been battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome on and off for years now and Detroit was…
Commission- Forest Spirit
Photographer: Marla Bishop Make-up: Kat Winslade Model: Elias Mattila Costume: Courtney Coulson
Commission- Winifred Sanderson
This might be one of the most elaborate costume I have ever made, the dress and the cloak include about 24 metres of fabric, all hand painted and bejewelled. I sculpted the snake brooches myself and they contain real malachite stones. The customer wanted it to be as accurate as possible, which is what I…
Commission: Traversing History
Project director and photographer: Marla Bishop Make-up artists: Kat Winslade and Camila Cufré Costumes: Connor Coulson Models: Nic Färgglad Erin Delaney Jasper Storm Luciano Spadoni Connor Coulson This was an unusual project, I was approached by Marla, a photography student who had an ambitious photoshoot that they needed costumes for. The concept was androgynous…
Night at the Museum- Ahkemnrah Redesign
I love the Night at the Museum films and I also love Ancient Egypt, so naturally I was inspired to reinterpret Ahkmenrah’s costume. The goal was to be as historically accurate as possible while still being recognisable. This took me a couple of months just to research, turns out there’s not a lot of information…
Star Trek:TNG Data Redesign
A redesign of the uniforms for Star Trek: The Next Generation I looked at the Abrams films and Discovery and even Alien, as well as modern uniforms and fashion for inspiration. While I like the TNG costumes, they don’t look like official uniforms that would be worn in any context, they look more like superheroes,…
Prometheus David8 Cosplay
Model and costumer: Courtney Coulson (Travian Designs) Photographer: Zachary William (https://www.facebook.com/8bitandover/) Make-up: Kat Winslade (https://www.facebook.com/katwinslademua/) It’s been a long time since I’ve cosplayed, it’s good to be back. This will be the first of many David costumes, I am utterly obsessed with Prometheus and Alien:Covenant. I am so dedicated I even bleached my own…
