>>10436706 Idk why 4chan shows so much jealous to foreign cosplayers. Most of the russian cosplay scene would barely even be middle class by American standards of income.
One thing russia does have over america it's the same thing asia has over Ametica. Is Cosplay is done as a group effort. If I'm an amazing photographer with vogue magazine level skills I set up the photoshops, my friend is beast with props, she makes the props. I got another friend who can style the hell out of wigs and make up etc. These groups come together and form a team called " cosbands" . The level of content put out by some of these teams are almost on par and sometimes actually do surpass film studios .
Yet russia has cosplay thots but none of the girls in Anerica are doing photoshoots on the level of janeyincosplay or the top russian girls. For all the money Jessica nigri makes she never has stuff like real wolves and bears in photoshoots, never does shoots in real castles , ships, monasteries , in the actual desert . American cosplay shoots are so boring and pedestrian while on the high end in russia and china cosplay photos often are magazine quality and look like mini fashion shoots.
Just because American cosplay scene doesnt value collabzrtion, team work and good photography/ set design like we do in other countries doesnt mean you got to be a hater .
