Hi there! 

I'm Sascha Maslowski, a digital artist turned hobby photographer based in Dortmund, Germany.
My creative journey began over 20 years ago in the early 2000s digital art communities – those legendary Photoshop forums where artists battled with signature banners and pushed creative boundaries. In that underground GFX scene, I spent years crafting forum signatures, transforming stock images into surreal compositions, and competing in weekly design challenges. We learned to tell entire stories in a 500x150 pixel canvas, obsessing over every texture, blend mode, and lighting effect.
Now, I channel that deep understanding of visual storytelling through my camera lens. I've been photographing cosplay for over a decade and a half, blending two decades of digital artistry with contemporary photography skills and an unwavering enthusiasm for Japanese pop culture. My background in digital art allows me to see beyond the viewfinder, envisioning the final image before I press the shutter – the same way I once visualized complete scenes before touching a single layer in Photoshop.
My work goes beyond capturing pictures; it invites you to step into fantastical realms where your favorite characters come to life through stunning visual detail – a vision shaped by years of creating worlds pixel by pixel, now brought to life through the lens.
