Which field do you think has stagnated worse? Cosplay photography

I think Ackson-style cosplay videos are the most boring thing I've ever seen.

Cosplay photography isn't usually particularly exciting, but the subject matter and the fact that 99% is shot at cons is pretty restricting. Taking it to the next level would require the logistics that professional fashion photography does, and very few of us on the photog or cosplayer sides can afford that.

definitely con videography
style differs between photographers and you'll see various things if you look at other photographers. it makes sense that a singular person uses the same style but refines it over time. if you want different stuff look elsewhere. con videography is the same even between different people. there's no styles, just the one with the music and the spinning. if anything that's why ackson got out of the game because he was just doing the same shit and then others were copying him so it was no longer special. no one has changed it up at all.

Cosplay photography is getting boring to me but I think its because I see it more. The main issue lies with what the cosplayers want. Popular cosplayers only want glamor shots and regular cosplayers want more photos that show off the costume and make them look good as they want to show the pics off.

As a result you get a lot of boring flat pictures of cosplyers standing in empty space. Sure you get a pose and some neat faces but you get something with little storytelling or emotion. I'm not asking for people to go outside and shoot on location or use studios. I just wish people explored the characters more and get something that shows the character in other ways besides what they look like.

It also doesn't help that videographers only shoot the best of the best cosplayers. Not only do they shoot the same but they all feature the same people

i wonder if i know op considering i know the people in the icon...
