The Pitch
I love telling stories with my camera, freezing moments in time with the Fae, the Vamp, the Armor, and the Dress. Each shoot is a portal to another universe.
Hi, I’m Keane – a visual storyteller who captures emotions, light, and a whole lot of nerdy magic with my camera. I’ve been shooting portraits and events around Wellington for years, but my true passion is the colorful and creative world of cosplay. That’s why I created Capturing Cosplay – where geek culture and photography collide!

Verified Photographer
Once upon a time, I was known as Capturing Heartbeats after being verified by Cosplay New Zealand. Then in 2019, I leveled up and launched Capturing Cosplay to dive deeper into cosplay and geeky adventures.
It’s been an incredible journey full of epic stories, and I can’t wait to see where it leads next. I photographed my first convention in 2016 with a bag full of gear.
Keane Chan Photos is my commercial brand focusing on portrait, events and perfromance. Capturing Heartbeats is currently in torpor and will come back very soon.
