BSaphire: Thank you very much for clearing up all the misunderstanding of the post. I really appreciate your effort in keeping this post as a tips for cosplayers as well as a general etiquette guideline for photographers.

I'd suggest cosplayers to always keep in mind that photographers are not your boss (nor your enemies  :P). Great photographs are products of great teamwork between the model (cosplayer) and the photographer. It is very important that you feel comfortable in order for us photographers to get the shot. If you don't feel comfortable doing a certain pose or to have pictures taken with a certain angle definitely let the photographer know. If in doubt, as many of us already suggested, ask to check the shot. If for whatever reasons you think the photographer is not trustworthy then don't let him/her take your pictures.

As Muze already suggested there is a high chance photographers might ask you to move to places outside of the convention hall for better lighting/location/etc. Definitely bring couple of your friends. Very likely the photographer would like the idea as it's always great to have extra helps when it comes to lighting  ;D ;D
