With comic con season about to really start in the UK, I try and remember to share this photo on our social media pages.
I share this photo to remind cosplayers that it’s ok to say to photographers no if you feel uncomfortable or they didn’t get your permission. Here is the facebook link to that photo.
Just to note, there is only one person here (second on the right) who asked permission to take photos of the cosplayer. We were contacted this fact when this photo was initially posted.
I get the point from some cosplayers that if one photographer has got permission and the cosplayer is in position for their pose, it’s easier for everyone to get their photo and move on. But for me, if you can’t wait a few moments for the cosplayer to readjust and give you their undivided attention for a photo, I personally don’t think it’s not right to snap a photo without consent for “convenience’s” sake.
Also, asking someone their permission is a sign of respect, treating them as a person, not an object. I don’t know how long they’ve been in that one spot, if they need to go somewhere or even take a break.
I don’t take any offence if any cosplayers say no to me when I’ve asked for their photo. Cause it could be a multitude of reason why they are saying no, such as they’ve come out of a pose which is demanding on the body, they need a drinks break, they need to go somewhere, etc.
Now, I don’t want to start a war between cosplayers and photographers but if a photographer starts taking photos without your permission, just politely say “please, no photos right now” or “I’ll be happy to have photos with you if you could ask permission next time please”. We just need to show respect for each other.
Let me know what you think

Toad is a timeless character. Both young and old love them, Toad was such a scene stealer in the almost recent Super Mario Bros Movie, and is one of the best characters to play/interact with in the game.
The costume is mostly made out of foam padding and felt fabric. Two materials I had never worked with before. The most challenging part is trying to glue everything down, make it stick, and keep its shape!
Almost everyone recognized Toad at New York Comic Con. I could barely get a few feet forward before getting asked for pictures. It was quite challenging and the inside does get hot despite the two fans I had inside.
My cosplay origin story started back in 2015 when a close friend invited me to my very first New York Comic Con. I had built a Bane costume out of cardboard and tubing. After seeing all the intricate cosplayers in attendance, I was inspired to also build my own.

It was my first time going to NYCC so I didn’t know what to expect. I was especially concerned how my 9 month old son would react. A friend who is an OG at the con suggested we go Thursday or Sunday since those are the slower days. We went Thursday, the opening of NYCC. My son and I cosplayed as Chi Chi and little Gohan since I’m a huge fan of DBZ. I also made sure to choose easy comfortable cosplays so I could focus on the baby, unlike most I have that would typically require a handler.
His Gohan outfit made so many people happy. Especially at the Dragon Ball booths. He ended up taking a nap at the Dragon Ball panel. He was squealing and jumping at the new Daima trailer and then suddenly knocked out a minute later. I guess he wasn’t impressed lol. We would make sure to take plenty of breaks to get him out of the stroller. Otherwise, he would get fussy.
The show area had several booths that were carpeted which was perfect so we would just sit in a corner for a bit to rest. He almost crawled for the first time during one of those breaks! NYCC also has a designated spot on the first floor for kids activities. It was a very convenient area to rest and feed him. My son also wears a helmet so we put a Captain America decal wrap over it. The extra day we took him, he was Captain America to meet Chris Evans at his photo op. Chris loved his outfit! Overall it was one of my favorite cons. Seeing my son have so much fun even at 9 months old created unforgettable memories for me.
