/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Got ~250 posts in before /r9k/ invaded this feels thread, not bad. Let's see if we can make it further next time though.

>love to cosplay, love photography but missing the foundation and practice
>hey I should photograph cosplayers, but I need practice so I won't charge yet until I have a good credible portfolio
>do my first shoot, again, free
>later, "hey anon can I sell prints of the photos?"

um, I didn't take the photos with this intent, at least not yet, which is why I don't have a contract or anything yet, and this is a friend of mine. What do you anons do in a situation like this? do I tell them to give me a percentage? I said I'd do it for free but not for them to sell my work

I don't care. Wouldn't do it personally but as long as they're having fun and being respectful to others, then good for them. Anyone who vehemently speaks out against them is probably an annoying person I wouldn't want to hang out with. Don't really like being around people who just endlessly whine.
