@Guest18: I find that rude... like no offense but like nina said we are tired, some costumes are uncomfortable. we do try, and you didn't really ask for photos, you demanded alot, so how could we when your taking photos of us while we are just talking through the con. seriously.

I haven't seen any of me yet. But don't expect to.

As for guest18's comments. I think the MAIN reason for our lack of posing or "good" poses or whatever is because New Zealand is still very young in the cosplay realm. As well as we don't partake it in as often as other countries do as we only have a handful of events where we can dress up. You have to keep in mind we're this tiny country that doesn't lend us the ability to throw up victory signs every time the camera is on us. We will get there one day. But this weekend wasn't that day. Sorry we disappoint you so much.

to be honest, often people don't pose because other people just ninja photos without really asking. after being to an american con, i find it kinda rude for people just to take photos without asking the cosplayer first... after us spending so long/so much money on costumes, the least we can ask is for the chance to arrange ourselves nicely for the camera.

I had that happen to me a number of times. Or some just yell at me and when i turn around I have a camera flashing in my face. It's not the best way to take a photo of anyone. But even when requested, most of us are just cosplaying in the early stages. Not all of us have been doing it for years and even the ones who have have only had the oppurtunity to do it perhaps twice a year.

Not all of us are fully into the cosplay world yet and alot of us goto geddon to shop and look around on top of cosplaying and our costume and how we pose may not be our priority. Trying to scare off voice actors might be.

^ just because you have a camera doesn't mean you automatically possess the right to take a photo. i'm not trying to be a smarmy wrench or anything, but objectively? there are a number of reasons for cosplayers to reject having their photo taken. maybe they don't feel comfortable/think their costume looks right or good enough, maybe they're on their way somewhere else, maybe they're eating.

but if they reject a photo, they should do so politely. on the flipside, if asking for a photo, it should be done politely.

i think the photographers do an amazing job, they work all day so we get nice pics.
you dont HAVE to have your photo taken im sure a no thankyou would be sufficient.
considering alot of people go onto the photographers websites and take/copy the pictures for free.

This is taken from BehindInfinity's Tux Team Guide to... Convention Ettiquete, which I posted in the Convention Tips a while ago.

Hey guest18, lets get one thing straight. I cosplay because I love to SEW and I love to MAKE things. I don't reeeealy care about looking like some pretty sexy dolly for some photo. I'm 5 feet nothing and hatchet faced NOT A MODEL.

Also a con is not the best place to get photos. Many of us organise photo shoots amongst ourselves, done with plenty of time, and better choices for location.

I have never said no to a photo, it's very flattering. I don't care if someone snaps me while I am eating or adjusting something - just don't expect me to be a model because I am not.

orz
I rejected photographs many times because I hadn't done my make up and was in the process of fixing up my costume. So like Lucy said. POLITENESS IS GODLY.

I do agree there is a need for improvement in the posing department, but I don't think that's any fault of ours.

MORE PHOTOS, MOAR.
