Is cottagecore/fantasy-core a good influence in the cosplay community? It promotes regal, elegant looking styles like these and and they're fully dressed so there's no lewd angle. It also has a small overlap with the Lolita style that women like.
Same shiz different thread. Except now it’s the beginning of con season.
Nothing clever to add, just the usual shit about lifting this off another website and the formatting to get messed up.

While I still enjoy it, I mostly now just shoot for friends/less popular cosplayers. A few of us photographers actually do have our own group chats, and its pretty civil and we don't really shit talk other models, we actually hype eachother up. The cosplay chats i've seen though are pretty fucking vicious.
Any other photographers want to chime in on their experiences?
