Kevin Knight was at this year’s SDCC where he set up a studio to shoot portraits of those in attendance wearing extremely creative (some less so) and wild costumes. While each year the internet sees its fair share of photos from SDCC, the Los Angeles-based photographer managed to show the characters in a new light, focusing your attention solely on the subject and his or her costume.
