My Pitch
Every cosplay tells a story. I’m here to tell it.
I’m Keane — a Wellington-based cosplay photographer capturing the characters, the craft, and the moments that make convention culture awesome. I shoot convention floor shots, studio sessions, and at location character sessions. Whether you’ve spent six months on your build or you’re rocking a last-minute cosplay, I’ll find the shot that does it justice. Verified photographer with Cosplay New Zealand. Shooting conventions since 2016.

Where to Find Capturing Cosplay
Goblin Masque – Auckland
Cosplay New Zealand
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, but I attended conventions many moons ago. (Pulp Expo and KapCon)
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.
