I plan on going! No idea what I'm gonna cosplay yet, though. I better figure that out soon, but I don't know if I'll have the funds to really make/buy a new costume this year anyway.

I'm really excited, but this thread is really early and destined for death without content.

I appreciate what the op was trying do, since I myself was curious about if anyone was going to this or not.

Do they even have guests lined up? Last I checked it was just some internet artist lady.

it's disheartening how ignorant we are of how pieces are manufactured/contracted by brands.

I'd really like to see some econolitas or fashion merchandising lolitas put together a blog to reveal how everything gets made (brand & indie) and how the rights get worked out in Japan and China.

this aspect of the fashion is really fuzzy and misunderstood, especially as different countries have different laws.
I'd really love to learn more about the business practices and what, if any, illusions we hold of AP, Baby, etc.

if this kind of resource doesn't already exist, I'd be all over working with some other gulls to create an informative LJ

I wish lolitas would think thrice before outing themselves just to respond to crit.

You are seriously overreacting. Do you pay this much attention to the stuff you buy at the supermarket?

Yank here (specifically, US Airfag). Been living in the UK for 3 years now. Been to a handful of cons. I have yet to see a good cosplay....

>>9374798
By "Handful of cons" do you mean local events and ALcon? If so then yeah, that's what you will see, garbage tier.

I like this one because it seems so wearable, and the unconventional use of a woollen jumper is practical and inventive

It's been pretty pupular recently due to the current boom for fashion inspired by traditional clothes in Japan, Kawaii Pateen even uploaded a Qi makeup tutorial today.

I guess one of the reasons for "why" it used to be an ita stable was the fact that it was overdone in whitexblack and redxblack by costume shops.

Stop buying from bodyline, it's almost 2017

>>9302337

It feels like you want to get into this just for the "easy" cash. The politics of cosplay photography is a shitshow.

DESU I got spoiled last year by a really good photographer who underpriced herself, ($15 for thirty minutes, made sure to tip her extra) so it's hard to say. Knowing your worth is a good start. Don't be overpricing people, especially considering a lot of people don't even want to pay for a photographer.
>Should I stick to doing photos for free drinks and to talk to girls?
nigga what

>Should I stick to doing photos for free drinks and to talk to girls?

The money will be good alcohol money and you wouldn't want to talk to the girls anyway. You'd end up shooting yourself.

pun intended

>>9362315
i'm not looking for easy cash, but a little fun cash if its worth the effort / gear prep and risk.

>Should I stick to doing photos for free drinks and to talk to girls?
I got paid in drinks by this one couple I followed for an hour, and a beer from some guy who didn't have a photographer. It's easy to talk to cute girls or guys if i'm in work mode and they like the photos i'm doing for them, we work through the shoot and I can easily make a new friend.

What products do these photographers offer? If its just a handful of edited photos they shouldn't be charging at all.

I'm curious about the details because I saw a lot of shitty photographers making cosplayers uncomfortable in their shoots, and more than likely delivering poor products.

I understand you don't want some guy trying to make another quick buck for possibly bad photos, but can you tell me what you would expect from a photographer?

I would be fine shooting for free with fun people, accepting tips if they think my work is acceptable.
