/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So.. Are the dozens upon dozens of cosplay girls who get roped into incredibly obvious fetish stuff by photographers aware that it is fetish stuff? Do they care?

I ask because there are quite a few accounts like this on DA, who advertise openly the models they're working with, have many sets viewable, have what seems like a professional demeanor and real business (with no overt porno overtones), have all the girls commenting "Great working with you!", "This was fun!", etc. And they all have persistent fetish themes in every set. This guy, for instance, gets every single girl to take their shoes and socks off, then takes high resolution pictures of their feet. He even gets them to put their feet on each other's faces sometimes, or rub each other's feet. A few sets are blatantly niche foot porn, like close-up pics of girls stepping in stuff.

Is this just an accepted undercurrent of cosplay photography? It seems common, and while some may be hired models, a lot of them seem to be impromptu shoots at cons.

Note I do NOT intend for this to be a porn thread, or a troll thread. I am genuinely curious as an outsider to cosplay - which seems to have a large, developed community - about how this stuff is viewed.
