cinematic photographer

I’m Gabe Freeland, an Atlanta-based cosplay and portrait photographer specializing in cinematic, character-driven images. Whether you’re bringing a beloved fandom to life, preparing content for socials, or building a professional portfolio, I create bold, high-quality photos that capture the personality and heart behind every costume.

cosplay

As a dedicated cosplay photographer, my goal is simple: to help you look and feel like the hero of your own story. With years of experience working in film and VFX, I blend professional lighting, storytelling, and dynamic posing to deliver images that look like they stepped straight out of a movie. Whether we shoot on location, at a convention, or in a curated studio environment, every session is tailored to your character and vision.

Why Work With Me?

I focus on building a relaxed, collaborative environment where creativity comes first. Each session includes pose guidance, character-accurate lighting, and detailed retouching that enhances your work without hiding what makes it unique.

You’ll receive a polished gallery delivered quickly, with options for high-resolution downloads, social-media-ready images, and additional edits. Whether you're a seasoned cosplayer or stepping in front of the camera for the first time, I’ll make sure you walk away with images you’re proud to share.

Atlanta Based

Atlanta is a city full of character — vibrant neighborhoods, hidden natural spots, iconic skylines, and a thriving cosplay and film community. As an Atlanta-based photographer, I know the best locations, lighting conditions, and backdrops to match any concept, from gritty urban shots to cinematic forest paths.

Whether we’re shooting at Piedmont Park, exploring downtown, or finding a quiet trail just outside the city, I can help you create images that feel personal and rooted in the heart of ATL. Being local also means flexible scheduling, quick turnarounds, and a photographer who understands the creative pulse of the community.

This city is full of stories, and I’d love to help you tell yours here.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

We all start somewhere! You don't need any posing experience or camera confidence - I guide you through everything, so you can relax and enjoy the moment. We will start simple to warm up and then work our way into more complex shots! If you need a break or have an idea, just let me know!

Are the travel expenses included in your packages?

Travel within the Atlanta area is already included in my packages — no extra fees. If a shoot requires travel outside the metro area or to a specific location that has its own costs (like parking fees or location permits), I’ll always discuss that with you ahead of time so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to get our photos?

My usual turnaround time is about two weeks. I hand-edit every image to make sure you’re getting my best work. If you ever need your photos sooner — for an event, a post, or a deadline — rush delivery options are available.

Can you recommend any good locations?

Absolutely! I’ve photographed all around Atlanta and know plenty of great spots — from parks and city streets to unique backdrops that fit specific cosplay themes. Tell me the vibe you’re going for, and I’ll suggest locations that match your style and make your photos stand out.
