Where can you find cosplayers to photograph? What equipment should you bring? Topics such as composition and camera technique are also discussed here. (nisa-con.de)
Cosplay Props Check
Since NiSa-Con is subject to the provisions of German weapons law, all cosplay props must be checked and marked according to their classification. Only then are they permitted to be carried on the event grounds. It is also possible to hand in props so you can enjoy the convention without worries. (nisa-con.de)
Support for Cosplayers
NiSa-Con places great importance on supporting the cosplayer community. That is why various services are offered to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience. One example is the “Cosplay Props Check,” where cosplay props are checked and marked according to their classification. (nisa-con.de)
Food and Accommodation
Food and drink are well taken care of. In the cafeteria, you can try Asian and international dishes. Many visitors also take advantage of the overnight accommodation on site to enjoy the convention to the fullest. The convention does not close its doors on either of its two days and offers a continuous program, but still gives visitors the opportunity to rest at night in the large sleeping area.
