and we need to stand our ground on this. Exposure doesn’t pay the bills. To my fellow photographers: don’t let anyone undervalue your work. Know your worth, set your rates, and collaborate with those who respect you as a professional. Let’s raise the bar together!

we, as photographers, deserve to be compensated for the time, effort, and creativity we pour into our art. Magazines monetize our work by selling copies, and it’s only fair that we’re paid for contributing to their success. Cosplay photography is no less valuable than any other genre,
