Maybe. I think it might have more to do with just not planning ahead or not thinking about what might be more interesting on the cosplayers' end. I haven't done tons of shoots but I don't think the photog should be responsible for pose ideas. Ideally it's a collaborative effort between the cosplayers and the photographers, but as a cosplayer, I think if I love a character/series enough that I'm gonna make an outfit and play dressup, I should have some ideas for photos and poses. If I'm not creative about my poses, that's on me not the photog because he/she might not be familiar with the source material. Not to say there's anything wrong with simple poses, but I think it's good to have both. Just my two cents.
