most important thing to do for cosplay(1)

seek credit once is needed.

on a cosplay show, you may find many fancy cosplay costumes and charming cosplay performance. so here comes the problem- the right of portrait.
you work hard to creat your work of art and piss off who steals it just for themselves. So giving credit where credit is need is one of the most important problems you need to pay attention.

for cosplayer: it is of course you made an effort for the art of work, but you should keep in mind that if without the help of photographer you can not get such decent photos you are satisfactory.so please credit the photographer who took photo for you and give him a 'thanks'.

for photogragher: It is a touchy topic when cosplaying. but i think even the photographer makes the photos but the joint effort help him a lot. the audince provide a good environment, the cosplay try their best to pose perfectly as you request. at the same times, if you want to get recognition from others, you must credit otheres the right to share the photo in community.Also before photo taking, come to the cosplayer you are interested in and ask for permission to take photo.

I think only everybody remember what other have done to you, can you do properly respond to other's request. Complying to the rules i mentioned above, i think cosplayers and photographers and ordinary people can make friends with each other.
