It's really very simple, OP.

That was kinda what I was thinking, but that would only work if you were using a digital camera wouldn't it?

>>5024490

You mean you don't use a digital camera?

If you were using your cell phone, it'd be fine too.

>>5024494

Well I don't have a camera, this is all hypothetical. If I did it would probably be digital, but if it wasn't then I wouldn't expect that to work.

It if was two guys I wouldn't really mind but well if it was girls, eww, I can't stand ugly girls because although I'm not the best looking, a simple bit a make up and stuff makes me at least look presentable. So yeah, if they were really hideous I would ask for the one persons picture if they were a girl. But I would take the picture of both guys otherwise.

So how do you ask for just the one person's picture? What if the other person gets in close for the picture or something, do you wave your hand and shout NO NOT YOU or something?

I'm wondering how one would do it without hurting the person they didn't want the picture of, or if that' s even possible.

When I was at Megacon this past year, my friend and I often got pulled apart for different photos; didn't bother neither of us, but both of us were in the same anime, but ofc different characters.

So honestly, it depends. If the friend asks "Can my friend join?" Usually you would be like yes c you feel bad, but I always ingore and say no :3 I didnt ask them~

but then again, i r a bitch. Haha.

That was pretty much standard when my boyfriend and I cosplayed Chun-Li and Ryu together.

Personally, I'd go with >>5024477

I'll just take a picture of both them together and separately. Simple and easy as that.

"Wow, I almost never see people cosplay as X, X is my favorite character. Can I get a picture of you?"

A) They say yes, done deal
B) They ask if their friend can be in it also..

If B occurs you simply state TO THE FRIEND "You don't mind if I just take a picture of your friend, right? I mean, X is my favorite character from Y series so this'll just take a second."

If their friend insists (Or they have pre-arranged duo poses and are already in them) then just take one of them together and one of the one you actually want afterward. Most crappy cosplayers know their cosplay is crap and are already low self-esteem anyway so will typically back down to not ruin things for their friend.

You are severely overthinking this.

>>Go up to pair

>>Ask for a picture of both of them

>>Ask for a picture of each one individually

>>Disregard picture of hambeast

You got the picture you wanted and the hambeast's feeling's aren't hurt. That simple.

if you're using a film camera at a convention you're a) trying to be hipster b) going to deal with it because you know what you're doing c) waste an exposure or d) pretending to take the shot of the ugly friend

and if you're using digital then this isn't even a question

I just ask for a picture of the one I want. Have never felt like I needed to include everyone there in the photo, and no one yet has acted offended. When my friend and I go to cons people ask us separately for photos as well.
