>K. Your loss then

Makes me quite sad when it happens :(

Thats why God invented candids

>>10940087
kys

The ones that do this are the "professionals" who charge for photos and wander around cons in full costume surrounded by handlers who get in the way so no one can get a decent shot.

>>10940093
That's strange, because the "professionals" I've encountered (ones who are selling photos of their previous cosplay and clearly have a following) are actually okay with a free pic and pose.

They have alot of people with higher quality camera and equipment surrounding though and they usually take an hour to finish so waiting can be a pain.

Couldn't be me

I had this happen at my last convention.
I'd already been really scared of asking people for pictures, but finally I got the courage, and then the third person I asked said no, and after that I only got one more picture through all of the convention.
I guess there weren't that many people cosplaying characters I cared about anyway, so maybe I wouldn't have taken many more photos anyway, but still.

>>10940113
What happened? Were you unnerved because the 3rd person said no? Honestly, don’t take it too hard, they could just be tired

>>10940078
I only refuse when I'm about to go home, changing back or I feel my makeup is off. Don't take it too personally anon. Most people are glad to be asked for a picture.

>>10940078
you must just be unlucky, I've literally never been refused

Never experienced this, you must have caught them in a bad mood.

One time i did wanted a picture with someone walking and kept calling them for 5 minutes and they just wont notice and then i gave up.

>>10940078
>take the picture anyway
>turn around 360 degrees
>walk away

>>10940078
Don't take it so personally. Cosplayers are people too - they get tired, hungry, they run late for things, they might be busy trying to meet up with someone, they might just be grumpy. Just say something like "Aw ok, I really like your costume though, have a nice rest of your con" and move on. Be a good sport.

>>10940087
Nah, candids and creepshots are done by people who don't have the balls to approach others.

>>10940093
How do people have the gall to ask for money? Even celebs who charge for autographs? Get paid for what? For standing still for a second for the people who will advertise you on the internet?

>Walking back to hotel from con
>Guy and his friend catcall me and asks if he could take a pic under my skirt
>Say yes
>He looks at me weird and starts laughing
>Strike a cute pose with my skirt out and wait for him to take the pic
>He doesn't know what to say and leaves
>Walk away feeling really rejected

>>10940296
He was disgusted by your penis

>>10940296
Men who catcall do so because they don't have the guts to actually flirt with you. Bitches are afraid for no reason.

I've been attending anime conventions for over a decade and I had little problem asking for photos.

anxiety may have built up for the last few years but I have to overcome it everytime. Because deep inside if I dont get that photo I will never have that chance.

whos going to stop you from taking a picture bro

>>10940442
Convention staff may remove you if enough cosplayers complain.

>>10940456
That rarely happens. Convention staff usually just explain to you not to do that and why.

So true

>>10940078
>buy a big camera
>they never say no
>always hold their pose while I move around a few times taking a few shots

its so easy

I did this in cosplay to a guy who wore an Antifa Shirt. The disappointment in his face and voice was priceless.

>>10940858
>>10942793
sure jan

>>10942793
Extremely based, if factual

>>10942798
okay true the one time I was told no was when I found one of the guest VAs wandering the hall and he didn't want anything taken outside of his booth or off hours, I think it had part to do with the VA strike going on he was very stingy

>>10940078
you must either be unlucky or come off as creepy, I've literally never been refused

>>10943432
How does one come off as a creep?

When I cosplay, I plan on denying all pictures. Nothing personal, just don't like being on camera, is all.

>>10943709
Why even cosplay then if you don't want attention

>>10945632
Covert narcissism

>>10943709
for me its being okay with pictures but refusing to look at them because I hate what I see
but if they want to take pics of ugly me sure go ahead just do not show me
