reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
Then stop doing it, it sounds like it's making you unhappy.
If you don't like cosplay photography then don't do it anymore!don't do it anymore!don't do it anymore!

Do it for free or don't do it at all. "Professional" photographers are cringe.
>>10919924Does the dopamine hit of ig shootouts when they like it count as "for free"?
>>10914831The only reason guys become cosplay photographers is because they want cosplayer GFs but are too ugly to be cosplayers themselves.
>>10920001I've been found outBut also I think it's one of the more fun way to pass the time and mingle at a con.
>>10914831Technically, cosplay photography is a dying art with the rise of reels. There's just so many cosplayers who once took high quality photos barely post them anymore because they don't preform well compared to video.
