Enthusiast Project: BronyCon
Ashton Worthington does it again, this time focusing on BronyCon and the fascinating, supportive community of My Little Pony fans. And, of course, he does it well. From Ashton:
I have been doing formal portraits of people involved in cosplay, historic reenactment, LARP, etc, for about two years now. I am fascinated by how people from such disparate backgrounds come together and form communities and become like family, and I think it’s beautiful how people find these places where they can build identity and be their true selves. The passion and dedication are inspiring, and of course, the costumes are awesome.
This is an ongoing, long-term project. Every step deeper into these worlds reveals ten more layers. It’s truly like peeling the onion. If you are involved in a costume community, or know of an interesting one, please get in touch.

E Pluribus Magic
‘Santas’ by the amazing Ashton Worthington – part of his ENTHUSIAST project and a tribute to the magic of the holiday season. From Ashton:
1200 miles, 6 states, 9 Santas.
As part of my ongoing ENTHUSIAST project photographing portraits of people involved in cosplay, historical reenactment, LARP, etc, I’ve spent the beginning of December traveling up and down the East Coast shooting Santas (my new favorite sentence). I find it beautiful how people come together from vastly disparate backgrounds, form communities, and become like family and find a place they can be their sincere selves. There isn’t an ouce of irony or joke-ness about these Santas – they live for this. They truly understand what they represent to children and how deep an effect they can have on their lives, and take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I BELIEVE.

And from all of us at k2creative: Happy Holidays. Stay Jolly.
