Because pressing a button is hard...

...and convincing scantily-clad women at conventions, when wearing a lot of "photography-related gear," that you're a professional photographer, is easy.

Seriously, 99.99999999% of the "photographers" I've seen at conventions have exerted more effort at shoo-ing random picture takers away from their "private shoots" (in public places), than in doing actual "photography." Hell, most of the shots they post in their online "portfolios" are heavily 'shopped anyways, so there's really little camera-related technical talent being utilized in the "photography" in the first place.

But then again, hot chicks like jerks, so I guess it makes a sort of sense...

I can kinda see where you're coming from there, OP. But there are those of us who photograph cosplayers because we are fans of the series/just happen to like the designs.

As with everything else in this world, there will always be bad examples, and there are a few who will humbly do just what they came to do, which is take some great shots with the cosplayers and be on their way after a pleasant conversation.

It is a bit sad that this is what con photography has become, but I just wanted to say there are those of us who don't fit into the stereotype that you described in your post.

Nailed it, OP.

I didn't even have to read the rest of your post.

I literally cringe every time I see the attention seeking "copslay divas" on this board talk about photographers or "photog"-s (god I hate that word).

None of them are professionals; a professional photographer actually takes pictures of important people or important habbenings.

What you call "photogs" are just fattie Betas that you tolerate enough to allow them to serve you as your personal creepers, the condition being that they spend their parents' money on an expensive camera.

There was literally NEVER EVER a cosplay picture that was created with such amazing "photographing skills" that I, a complete layman, could not recreate it myself, using the same camera.

If you call them what they are, I'll have no problems with it.

Ahahahahahahah, nice try.

Let me tell you two useful pieces of information:
a) I am not a woman.
b) I am not fat.

I only go to conventions to get some easy pussy. That's what conventions are about. S.O.C.I.A.L.I.Z.I.N.G. Not about pretending that you're someone. You're all nobodys. Your beloved queen JNig? Also a nobody. I wouldn't even tap that ass because she's a butterface and I don't do anything that's 7/10 and below.

It annoys me to see all those wannabe "divas" with fat neckbeard Betas in tow. And how they pretend to like them and that they're relevant in any other way than pressing a button on the expensive camera in their fat fingers.

Why the fuck are there dots after each letter? are you trying to imply the word "socializing" is an acronym youve made up? I dont think so because you didnt explain what each letter stands for right after that sentence.

Actually, they do, in a way.

I doubt most of these beloved "photogs" of yours have made enough money creeping on women way above their league to pay back for the camera alone.
