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
>>10920369Get the Olympus 45mm 1.7, it's dirt cheap and will be your portrait lens for a long time
>>10920299iphone
>>10934969lmao bro, I can't post anything here; you could dox me instantly. I would love to show off my pics tho. Too bad.

I'm a beginner photographer and I haven't been able to do much photography of people since my friends and family don't like being photographed. I figured conventions would be a good place to practice, but I have never gone as a photographer before. What's the proper etiquette when asking someone for a photograph? Do you just go for it and leave or is a conversation about the character and costume appreciated? I'm a bit of a sperg if you haven't noticed.
The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.
>>10963825yea, that one but as I recall now, she get married to some dude and just stopped any media presence
>>10963394Speaking of gaiatheorie, what happened to her? Her profiles are locked
>they found someone they wanted to commit to>to the level of getting married and/or having childrenthat's one thing that happens in life, you grow up, like it or not
>>10964001mostly the former, majority of them being porn stars
>>10963992nags about politics on a daily basis in their locked instragram
hellocosplay by me
>>10962796vry nice but use the cosplay thread nex time
Holy fuck that's sick. also where are you in the first pic? looks like a very public location where most wouldn't cosplay
>>10963817so basically there was this itasha car event happening that had a collaboration with this boba shop and they encouraged cosplayers to come and other weeb stuff. this one photographer asked me to do some photos for their ig so that's what I did
>>10963472sorry im new here
>>10963472>You can’t post your cosplay on the cosplay board you have to post it on the cosplay general thread on the cosplay board Jesus there’s like 8 people who post here consistently; so every time some anon says “uh actually you’re supposed to use the dumb questions thread” I know it’s you. stop doing this.>>10962796Really wonderful cosplay I hope you had fun
Thread for all other lolita topics and releases. Last thread fell off the board.Angelic Pretty General >>10910824Buy/Sell/Trade >>10899556Ouji General >>10868636Handmade Lolita >>10935785Kumya General >>10929865
>>10962750Just look at the photo and what fabric is used. If this is polyester then it's time to stop buying from MM
Are there any lolita dresses that are 100% cotton (or other natural fiber)? From what I've seen, even the brands known for higher quality (i.e. VM) make their dresses with cotton shell, polyester lining.
>>10963911older releases from brands tend to be 100% natural fibers from what I see on my labels, I have a etc skirt from 2003 thats 100% cotton
>>10963544Moitie has always been poly, poly doesnt mean cheap. >>10963911On the same topic, cotton lining is annoying and isnt a sign of quality. The reason it isnt used is because it has a habit of getting kinda stuck against your skin or the petti while poly lining is smooth. Poly isnt a sign of low quality its about what makes sense for the situation. Not sure why people now have this very basic idea that poly is bad and cotton is good because it just isnt true on either counts. You can have cheap and rough cotton and expensive and luxurious polyester.
>>10963544>newfag doesn't know Moitie has always had polyester releasesI'm asking more about whether they're still sending people poorly sewn goods. There have been reports of customers receiving items with wonky sewing (like frills attached a little too far away from the hem) or just poorly constructed garments (like the Divine Cross re-release). It was to the point where people would buy through Atelier Pierrot because AtePie would side with the customer and ask Moitie for an exchange on the customer's behalf, whereas Wunderwelt would just ignore you and insist nothing was a problem. Unfortunately that has led to Moitie pulling out from selling through AtePie, so that insurance is gone now too.>>10963911Some VM releases have cotton lining, e.g., Plant Garden series and Gingham releases. That said, >>10963932 is right, cotton isn't necessarily a sign of quality. Actually, the argument that cotton is a sign of quality is really only relevant to printed fabric because printing on cotton is more expensive than printing on polyester, so a sustained shift from cotton to polyester for prints suggests that a company is cutting corners. And if corners are being cut on the fabric, then one would expect that corners would be cut elsewhere too.

>Fourteen people were arrested and 10 victims were rescued in a human sex trafficking sting at San Diego Comic-Con Convention.>The San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a three-day operation ahead of the weekend bust, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release on Tuesday, adding that among those rescued was a 16-year-old girl.>Law enforcement officers went undercover as sex buyers to identify and arrest traffickers, as well as find potential victims, according to the attorney general's officers.>Undercover police also posted ads seeking sex as part of the operation.
>>10931861You should be playing with your babies and other mommies, not posting here you busted tramp

Hey 7031, your Pinterest link doesn’t work, not sure if maybe it’s set to private?
GODDAMNIT I MISSED THE SIGNUP
Hello #9119! I'm your Santa in the high tier. Just checking in to let you know I've done most of the shopping for your gift. Thank you for being so thorough on the questionnaire, it was a big help in making my selections. Happy to have been paired with another sweet lolita too.
Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next? Consult this handy site which also lists smaller local cons:https://www.jam-cons.net/con-kalender
>>10963390Sadly, I haven't met whoever >>10960930 was.I even brought a dj console to be extra obnoxious
>>10962828>>10963395well god damn it, ofc i didnt check.see you next time, space cowboyor grab a drink another day
>>10963668come to Kokorokon, sailor <3lets watch hmvs together
>>10959987because it's cringe
>>10960635did they go to Wiesbaden to die?
Anyone here going? I'm a local so I'm definitely going but national harbor is a 50 minute drive or a 2 hour train ride for me. Not sure what I wanna do. I heard parking is too expensive and that most if not all hotels and airbnb's are sold out
>>10963473>>10963488Bad news gullbros, there was another aviation accident today with that UPS plane in Kentucky ;_;
>>10963624I should have known, early this year was a cluster fuck with it selling out like 2 weeks before which was abnormal.So many scalpers and scammers made money from the shock that it was only going to get worse the next year.2 months is a long while though, there will be chances to do a transfer.
>>10963627Praying you all have safe flights
Bought my tickets on a (moderately) drunken whim last Friday, and it looks like I managed just in time. Now, I just have to figure out everything else about the con. I believe I have some buds with a room somewhere close, but driving in 1hr each day isn't too bad if it comes to it. I just gotta figure out what I'm goin to cosplay as.Either way, I'll have a car close by if any gulls need emergency rides or something.
>>10963774Nice my friend also got his last minite even though I thought he didn't get it in time. I'm pretty pumped for the jams. I've never played with a lot of people before
hey /cgl/ this me cosplaying my cat rupert, hes pictured here next to me ill add another picture after so you can get a closer look
>>10937438Lol

>>10937444excellent cosplay
LMAO
KEK
I'll toss my hat in the ring
>>10957046damn, i was gonna make a thread asking for sum, but glad i found one already, so im planning to dress as him when he wore the school uniform, the question is, how to make the head? i kinda dont want it to make so big, just a decent size for my head, like pic related, mom says using a ballon would be a good idea, and like im kinda new into cosplay, last year i did a half-assed one of goat from CoTL, too bad i didn't had enough time to paint the horns cuz i didnt planned it like months before just how i am with this one. :(anyway, any alternatives to balloons? and no, watermelons hell no.
>>10957046Thanks for posting my picture! I'm glad people appreciated my Jax cosplay. I sadly had to sell the head cuz I needed teh monies, but still have the body lying around. ~Somnii~
>>10957046Jax Jack Rabbit?
>>10959931the ring of fire?
Why is it always cringe and reeks of hubris and arrogance from the person cosplaying? It feels highly narcissistic.
>>10960534furries always get banished to a small corner in the anime con anyway
>>10958235how the fuck would people cosplay a character they didnt know existed
I once saw an artist alley exhibitor have a hired model beside him cosplaying the main character for his original comic. It was cool
>>10961758how much?
>>10961683with anticipation
