in #photography6 years ago

We normally do car events but this weekend we were invited to the Steampunk weekend at the East Coast town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. Here are a few of the great costumes we had the opportunity to photograph.

For those that don't know, Steampunk is a mix of either Victorian or early Edwardian costume, with a mechanical twist. The mechanics can either be steam or clockwork and many costumes incorporate either one or both attributes.

Many have a military edge, with helmets, tunics and guns.

Feathers also get quite a degree of use.

If you can grow a great white beard, it also works well.

You don't always need to be extravagant to look excellent in costume.
