I see there’s conversation about compensating cosplay photographers happening rn.
Cosplay photographers notoriously undercharge. As someone who works in the media industry and who’s dating a photographer, I know cosphotogs charge cosplayers pennies compared to what they charge

for corporate media work. If you have the audacity to complain about their already insanely low prices and even worse, just straight up refuse compensate them at the agreed upon rate for their time and effort, you don’t deserve to work with photographers.

Take into consideration travel costs, equipment costs, photo editing program sub costs, the time spent putting together moodboards, shooting and editing. So much goes onto your damn cosplay photos so the least y’all can do is respect your photographers. smfh, the entitlement.
