/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

It feels like a lot of people who complain about cosplay photographers charging are under the impression that the ones who charge just randomly walk up to cosplayers, snap a picture and demand payment. (I've never heard of that happening but feel free to share if you've seen it).

But photographers who take out a block of time to do a photoshoot with you plus do editing afterwards? How fucking entitled do you have to be mad that someone is charging for that? What makes you so amazing that anyone who doesn't want to give you free shit is an asshole? It doesn't matter whether you think it's a hobby or a job, it's still their time and they don't owe you shit.
