Have you not seen photographers? A lot are really fat and ugly, and even if the girl seems to "put out", at the end she's just being flirtatious and gets with another skinnier, better looking guy. I could get to one account involving something local where a girl has all these photographers all over her and she just teases them like mad, but I won't get to that. But I will say, it's extremely unprofessional for either party to go that level.

On topic though, I find it more professional for photographers to have business cards or contact info available. If you, the photographer, want your photography to be recognized and seen (especially when wedding season hits, that's big money and potential clients right there), be professional and have your card ready because cosplayers don't like having to Google or go on cosplay sites to dig for their photos or have their friends find it lying around some blog months later.

As a cosplayer, have poses ready. I knew a photographer who struggled to find poses for the cosplayers because the cosplayers themselves had no clue what to do. This is why it's good to be familiar with a character you're cosplaying and know specific signature poses. And it's okay for either the cosplayer or photographer to move locations, especially in the situation of lighting or crowds that may ruin the image.
