/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've always wondered why there is such a culture of focus on the photographers in NA/the west but not in the rest of the world and I'm starting to understand why

When was the last time you heard about a legendary photographer/cosplayer from Japan/China/SK/Russia/Europoor?

Part of it seems to be because in the rest of the world they seem to focus more on your work than who you are (something to do with the "your productiveness to society > your worth as an individual" mindset or whatever)

obviously it sucks because you easily don't get as recognized, but alas

sorry you got posted

the problem isn't that it's digitally edited
the problem is that it's very badly digitally edited.
It's fine to do 90000 edit actions as long as you did it well.
But most photogs just slap on some fried presets and fuck off.

It's the equivalent of a "profeshunul" cosplayer buying overly expensive non matching wigs, makeup, contacts, etc and looking crusty and cheap as shit.
