One would think that the great thing about events such as this is that you can shoot photos like mad. Everyone there is an exhibitionist, and they likes to have pictures of themselves taken. Partly it is true, but not in Japan. The organizers made people line up to each cosplayer, then have a quick chat, and then shoot. Now, I wanted to shoot photos of other people taking photos as that is much more fun and interesting. It tells a story instead of being a static posed portrait. I was being bugged every 5 min by the staff, telling me either that I have to line up or that I need permission to shoot. This is so typical for Japan that I didn't even get pissed off. Still, I have managed to grab a few cool photos the way I wanted it, and here is one. Mt friend Tristan helping one of the cosplaying Japanese girls to fix the ribbon of her maid outfit that came loose. Those types of events are a great place to practice your portraiture photography skills, as you have to be quick with reacting and composing, and know your camera well to be able to readjust all the necessary settings on the fly.
