[Anonymous No.7192182]

I've worked with two women photographers and probably around 30 male photographers. Experiences with the female photographers were fine, both of them provided makeup artists and the photos came out great. Male photographers were a mixed bag, but also there was obviously a much larger sample size. Sometimes they made me uncomfortable, sometimes they made me feel great. Picture quality varied. I know some of them jerked off to the pictures, I don't really care as long as they don't treat me inappropriately.

Tl;dr It doesn't really matter to me in general.

I'm like a 4, maybe 5/10 anyway and don't really do "sexy" cosplay so I'm pretty sure there's no fapping (or schlicking) being done. Regardless, a photographer is a photographer. As long as I get some quality pictures, I couldn't care less. I have a few male photog buddies and they're all pretty decent (both in personality and picture quality).

Most of my prefered photogs happen to be men actually, but I only prefer working with them because we are friends outside of cons.

As a guy photag, it's understandable that girls would prefer female photags more. Saying that, I've still had a reasonable amount of females ask me for photoshoots.

[Anonymous No.7192367]

I don't really care, I figure if my photo ends up online and some guy decides he's going to fap to that, it's really no different if it's a random internet guy or the guy that took the photo. Honestly I doubt I'm in anyone's porn folder, I don't dress skimpy and I'm not hot. I have a friend though that refuses to let guys take her picture because she thinks all male photographers are creepers and just want her pic for the spank bank, even though she's maybe a 6/10 and married.

[Anonymous No.7192396]

I don't care. When people are taking pics, I only see the camera and don't really remember the person (unless they do something memorable) since there are too many people who ask. I do like it when families take pics of me with their kids though, I think it's cute.

I guess I would rather have my photo taken by a female then an equally talented male, just since they understand my mindset a little better and are easier to feel comfortable around.

As long as they are polite and respectful gender doesn't really matter. My favorite photographer in the cosplay community is female, but that's because of the quality of her work. I've "worked" with four females, one was really good, two were okay, and one was really shitty. In general it's much easier for a guy to come off as creepy, and several male photogs have. Not run in the other direction creepy, but certainly the type you wouldn't trade contact info with. I don't do any skimpy costumes so I've never felt like I was being photographed just to be masturbated over, even if I've thought the photogs were sketchy.

Outside of cosplay I have had a few really negative experiences with male photographers. Really scummy guys who make you feel gross even though they never touch you or see you outside of your clothing. Left those shoots as soon as I could and never returned.

Female photographers are usually worse than male ones because they lack talent and skill.

However, male photographers are creepers who will jerk off to your pictures they will keep to themselves.

So ultimately, it is up to you - do you want more quality / not having shit photos by sacrificing your dignity and letting a creeper take pictures of your pussy? Or do you rather want shitty quality pics that a 10 year old could do better by going to one of the two female photographers that are around.

Hello /cgl/

I'm a very well known photographer within the cosplay scene.
I am pretty tight with most other big photographers that do cosplay worldwide. These guys tell me everything. Trust me. Everything.

Yes. Sometimes we love shooting skimpy stuff with hot girls. But I can confirm that we don't really fap to this shit. Not because it's wrong, but because most of us can get pussy.
It's possible that the lower tier of photographers take pictures just to fap to but I think even that is unlikely.

There you have it. This thing people speak of in this thread simply isn't true.
We do show each other pictures of hot shoots though. That part is true.

[Anonymous No.7193873]

Don't really care. Most if not all male photogs I've worked with were super respectful... to the point where they would not help pose me because they didn't want to touch me. I get amazing results from both genders and if people are gonna fap, they're gonna fap.

I'm not a fan of the chick, in fact I'm pretty sure we don't especially like one another but her cosplays don't suck. They seem pretty well made and thought out.

I think she has a point. I've been cosplaying for longer than her and I am also giving the side eye to what it has become. This past D*con I saw a lot of what she was saying. People are caring way less about the costume now and more about the looks of the person in it. These days you can have two equal costumes, put a nice looking girl in one and a hot chick in the other and everyone will say the hot chick clearly did a better job.

As a photographer my handsome face and focused personality open many doors and people biasedly assume i wouldnt fap to tgeir cosplay pics.
Of course you dusgusting 3Dpd are not what im interested in, too easy, I take pictures of otaku, fat neckbeards are the true spirit of the convention.

[Anonymous No.7206328]

I'm a photographer. I could fap to anything if I wanted to. Who cares.
When I do a shoot though, even when the model is nude and showing me her asshole, I don't let it affect my professionalism. I feel privelaged to be able to obtain that comfort level with my models and have a good time doing what I do. I also shoot a lot of cosplay, in and outside of conventions.

Gender has nothing to do with anything. If you have a problem with a photographer who is trying to be creepy, then you should just be more selective.

One thing to keep in mind is that for some photographers, our social bubbles are really fucked up. An example is if you are with a bunch of friends and somebody points out a really spectacularly pretty person and people make note of that person and say how hot they are or whatever, but nobody goes and talks to them because of intimidation. I walk up and talk to the person and introduce myself and let them know that I am a photographer and would love to work with them. Boyfriend with them or not. So, doing that for years may have made me a bit more forward than most people are used to.
I am saying this because if a photographer suggests something that may seem questionable, you can't see what they see and maybe you might just be feeling overly sensitive.

I'm still looking to find a cosplay girl to do some nudity,sexual things at a con. The problem is that if you are the kind of girl that has quality cosplay, you probably care more about that than the party time. Not saying they don't party, but they have higher morals due to the amount of work.

If you are the kinda of girl who would do it, you are probably more into the party scene and care less about cosplay. Which means you suck at cosplay.

Would any of you ever do cosplay sex and have photos taken? Good photography, masks/costumes on, possibly paid money?

There are female photographers at these things? Huh, never met one outside of a college campus.

[Anonymous No.7216698]

There are really only two photographers I've used for paid/planned photoshoots over the years, and both are men. Really for me it is less about gender, and more about if the photographer makes me feel comfortable in general.

I've had both male and female photographers pull me aside during conventions before to ask for private shots, which is fine, and honestly I've received amazing pictures this way. However, I have also had photographers, both male and female, become inappropriate during these times. If that ever happens, then you just excuse yourself and leave, it really doesn't have to become a huge ordeal.... Just make a mental note to try and avoid that photographer in the future.

I guess my point is, that regardless of gender, when doing a photoshoot what matters most is that you are fully comfortable (especially if you are actually paying for the photoshoot, you are the client!) If a photographer is trying to make you do a pose or angle you are not comfortable with, say so, if they keep pushing, then simply end the shoot. It really doesn't have to be the huge drama a lot of people make it out to be on here.

I'm sure most of you here on /cgl/ are nice guys who don't grope women, try to take upskirt shots, or harass cosplayers.

The fact is, there are some people out there who do. A lot of these people are heterosexual men who lack self-discipline. You all know someone like that, your more-of-an-acquaintance friend who whines a lot and can't ever seem to get laid.

These guys are socially inept and can't have relationships and sex like you normal men.
These men decide it's not their fault they can't get laid, it's the fault of every woman who isn't interested in them.

So they become assholes to women. In front of you they might be rude or make mean comments. When they are alone with a woman then become defensive and hostile. They delude themselves into thinking every woman in the world owes them sex and attention.

You normal men don't see it because they don't grope or harass you, they don't do it in front of men who might come to our rescue.

Every time I hear "Stop making things up" I realize that most good men are oblivious to these freaks. I wish they weren't, I wish when we told our stories of harassment and assault men asked "Who did it and where can I find them?" instead of immediately writing it off as a lie. People should be outraged at the behavior of these guys. They are out there and someone should beat the crap out of them and tell them to quit feeling sorry for themselves and learn some social skills instead of taking their failure out on everyone else.

I'm sure you nice men on /cgl/ did not know about these men and how present they are [statistics say you know at least one rapist, and one of these assholes - maybe the same person, maybe not]. Now you know. So when you are at a con and see one of these weirdos harassing a woman, realize that we're all representing our gender and maybe they should try to represent it a little better for the rest of you.

If a woman is going to go out of her way to dress as an icon, then it's more than likely that a guy who idolizes said icon may or may not also want to have sex with that icon; meaning, those nerds are probably going to fap to that.

I am a male and I will admit that men sexually objectify women; however, the way you present your point makes it seem that women don't sexually objectify men as well.

As a man who has been sexually objectified I can point to the fact that women (and men) sexually objectify men just as much as men sexually objectify women. It's in our fucking nature, an evolutionary trait.

I can understand your frustration with this, but please stop venting your anger about human nature specifically towards men. It's this kind of hate that changed feminism from the respectable suffragists who won women the vote, and equality in the west, to simple man-haters.

P.S. sexual attraction is dictated by genetics. If you have male physical genetics, but female mental traits, then you'll be attracted to men in very much the same way as a biological woman would. Additionally there are social conditions that influence sexuality but that's to a much lesser degree typically.

the issue is not that women objectify men just as much as men objectify women, it's that we live in a society where objectification of women is just a given, and seen as normal, and when you turn people into objects, you dehumanize them, and desensitize people from all kinds of violence, discrimination, and inequality, because it's seen as more acceptable when you disenfranchise a group of people and treat them as somewhat less than human. stuff as simple as ads that only show female body parts, or use female bodies to sell stuff are examples of women being portrayed as commodified things, as objects, not as people. that's where the issue lies. when women objectify men, it's not systematic, nor does it take away male agency or make men into objects only to sell things. it happens in limited contexts, but it's much less prevalent.

Objectification? I never quite understood that.

I look at it more as putting certain traits on a pedestal and making them more important than others.

Real objectification would requier you to disregard everything but 1 trait. And why would objectification be bad anyway? If you don't like that people just like 1 trait of yours or 2, then its up to you to be something more.

Thats why we have people exclaiming that they are nerds, or gamers, or whatever. Because they have nothing that they are good for, they have no real self identity, no skill or something others would look at and say "Hey thats pretty neat".

This is speaking from the pov of a female photog.
Male and female photogs generally have different aesthetics when it comes to photoshoots and see things from different angles; this isn't to say that all photogs of the same sex will end up with the same result, since everyone has their different take on things, but generally speaking. Male photographers usually do end up playing the sexy angle with the pictures more.

Idk it all depends on what you're going for. If you're looking for that sort of thing or are cosplaying a deliberately sexy character then you should pick a photog who is good at that, male or female. If you're going for a different style, pick a different photog. Look at their portfolio/website and see what their style's like. If you don't want to be ogled, ask not to be and ask for it disclosed on a release form (that you would have to sign anyway if the photographer is actually serious about their trade). If you're cosplaying a sexy character people are gonna assume you want that kind of attention and are going to check you out, sorry but it's just common sense.

Male photogs would have an easier time of things if it weren't for people like EBK. EBK set the standard for creepy. Some people try to be nice and say he's changed, but he hasn't. He's still a creepy old man that hits on girls half his age. I've never met a female photographer that creeped as hard as this dude. Or a male photographer, for that matter. That being said, female photographers do tend to be less experienced, but their photos are usually more flattering than a man's because they know how women want to look. But usually the composition's off or the lighting's bad or something.
For me, I don't care if people fap to my pictures as long as they don't write me letters telling me about it. Some of my costumes are sexy and some aren't. It's not like there's only-sexy cosplayers and never-sexy cosplayers.

A quick smile and thank you to the girl about to hand her a card where she can get the pictures if she wants them. then Poof, out of nowhere the I guess boyfriend, or pimp i can't really tell by the way he propositions me having a picture taken with the girl.

Precisely.

was making the point that people who take pictures for a living are thinking about a lot more than how sexy their model is and not about what they want to fap to later.

Shooting pictures of mofels in the buff and making it not look like porn takes consideration and effort along with a little bit of trial and error.

Now why did you have to go and crush /cgl/'s fantasies?

Really though, it's no different than an artist caring more about getting the line of action and composition correct than they are how attractive said nude model happens to be when figure drawing.

Cute models are nice, but at the end of the day you're there to get work done. Fapping isn't a part of that creative process.

Please define the level of sexual harassment, facts not opinions. Weather or not they touched or exposed themselves to you. If it qualifies as sexual harassment DO something about it don't just claim it on an anonymous forum to gain the upper hand on a message board. Not saying it didn't happen, but Harassment is a purely subjective thing. What one person views as harassment is interpreted as flirting or banter by others.

Explain to the person that you aren't comfortable with their advances and want them to stop. If they don't stop, leave. Handel it at the lowest possible level or at least try to before you go and report it to someone's superior.

One was a student photographer, went to Valencia. He was more aggravating than harassing, after he found out I shot nudes after we already discussed the details of a clothed shoot themed around a retro space outfit he asked if we could squeeze some nudes in. I agreed. Shoot day, we meet up, he asks if we can shoot the nudes first. I don't care, we start shooting. We're shooting nudes for awhile and he keeps on asking for various erotic poses. I do shoot erotic nudes so I do the open leg shots, he tries to direct me to touch myself. I say no, we take some more toned down shots. We go back and forth with me saying no, him backing down and me getting increasingly annoyed. I notice while I'm laying down that he appears turned on, plus when he'd be speaking to direct me his voice was becoming increasingly strained. I tell him that either we move along to what we originally agreed to shoot or I'd just leave. We spend about 15 minutes on what I really wanted to shoot. He calls me multiple times after it all and I ignore his calls after I pick up the photos, which he didn't edit. Still turned out nice, but I don't like how erotic nudes look and don't include them in my portfolio so I didn't have much to choose from. His references mostly said he was sorta shy and awkward, but otherwise okay.
Second guy, paid shoot. He has classical music playing when I get there, makes awkward small talk and we take care of paperwork. I don't remember what he said to me anymore, but it was awkward and uncomfortable, but not bad enough to make me leave and forfeit my money. Propositions me as I'm about to leave.
Third guy, by far the worst, also paid. Tried to get me to blow him. I said no. Tried to get me to have sex with him under the guise of offering me a porn contract and being able to make thousands of dollars, but oh, it's all amateur stuff with him as the male. Don't want to make this another post, too long, I stood up for myself when things got bad each time.

Yeah, the student was definitely an amateur but had natural talent. I've done shoots with people who have been shooting for 15+ years that had photos that didn't turn out as well as the photos from that shoot did, but god, that complete lack of social skills. He also told me that I could do whatever I wanted with the photos including editing them and didn't ask me to sign a model release. Really inexperienced in that aspect. I only ever had one other photographer just straight up give me permission to do what I want with photos, but he was a professional that did a lot of school portraits and tame stuff and didn't want himself connected with the nude photos we took. He just did the nude stuff for fun.
