Here is mine: RickHamell.com


I still have a couple of shoots to process, but those are the "just walking around and taking pictures," ones I got. I'm also doing a couple of followup shoots from Con-goeres who didn't get pictures of their Cosplays, and will post them when I'm done also!

Okay, here are my photos! This is my first time posting con photos to Facebook, so hopefully I did it right.
I took a whole lot of photos this year so I sorted them so nobody would have to go digging through them ;o;

As much as you don't like it, it's very rude to take pictures of ANYONE without their permission. This post does not make it sound like you were the con photographer, so you were just an attendee that decided to not ask anyone for their picture. A lot of people do not like that and would not be happy to know you did so..I know a lot of people that got mad at a lot of others for not asking for pictures.

[Hillopurkki]

I took pictures, but I have yet to upload...

People can argue over the ethics of it, but your pictures are gorgeous and I'm glad you chose to take candid crowd shots like these, because they really do capture the spirit and energy of Kumoricon more powerfully than any straight-on individual shots ever could.

I agree with EveofAbyss.

[BlackjackGabbiani]

Candids have NEVER been banned, and in fact the con rules put the onus of responsibility on the SUBJECT to state that they don't want to be photographed. The fact that candids have been accepted for all these years and now suddenly get attacked with NO subjects stating such is just plain bizarre. I had a staffer tell me that she'd put a slash on my badge if she caught me taking any more, and an ops person told me this was a bunch of hooey, and confirmed what the rules said.
I don't know what got into people this year, but photographers have done literally what they've done every single year and it was never an issue before.

Candids have NEVER been banned, and in fact the con rules put the onus of responsibility on the SUBJECT to state that they don't want to be photographed.

Mostly accurate, but it's worth noting that it is not solely on the subject. Con policy also puts the burden on the photographer to be reasonable, and allows a person to indicate they don't want to be photographed by attempting to leave.

<sub>Opinion: At some point, I personally think it might be good (for the sake of rules lawyers) to amend policy to indicate that non-verbal cues should be respected as well - i.e. holding up their hands, turning away, etc. Or perhaps just amend it to a restatement of the Wil Wheaton rule.

Disclaimer: I'm not specifically asserting that either policy or common sense was not followed, just noting for the record what policy says.</sub>

[BlackjackGabbiani]

Which is still the responsibility of the subject to display such a cue. Obviously creep shots and those of inappropiate situations such as crying or so on are on the photographer, but a simple candid of normal circumstances can't really be lumped together with those.

And as I said, none of the subjects objected. Only staff.

Wow guys..Really? I'm a bad guy for being the one to actually speak up when the others wont? I heard so many freaking people talk about how they were mad that other people were taking pics without asking..Literally every single person I met hated it and had something to say about, or to, someone doing that..So I know people do not like it, they just don't want to speak up..Maybe they are afraid to, but that doesn't make it ok to do..And you should get a slash on your badge for doing it. The whole rule of stating to not be photographed means goes out the window if they don't even know you did it in the first place..You aren't giving them the OPTION to decline it. And I know a lot of people go "It's a con, you know your pic will be taken" or "in the rules it says be aware that your pic will be taken and may be used by us without permission" which neither of them are talking about candid photos by regular attendees. If you are not the hired staff con photographer, then that rule is not talking about YOU..

Do you not understand? If you do not tell the subject you want a picture, they are not able to refuse it..They can not say, or gesture to not have their pic taken if they don't even know you are taking it..What part of this are you not getting?

[EveofAbyss]

You need to not be so quick to jump down people's throats, Jeimi. Try to calm down, please.

It is a valid issue, for sure, but this particular instance (LovelyAngel's photos) is not all that applicable. It seems, by looking at LovelyAngel's photos, that LA is the kind of photographer to discern the difference between an intrusive and non-intrusive photo opportunity. The photos shared are positive and present each subject in a very beautiful light. I'm not pretending people can't get upset by unprompted photos, but I think this particular instance is not indicative of the problem you pointed out.

Perhaps it'd be best to start a new thread if you would like to debate the issue further. Let's just try to keep this thread focused on sharing photo collections, yeah? ^_^

Well I'm not wanting to start a whole big fight here..Just want people to understand that it's not right to do that. With how many people I herd complaining at con about it (to their friends while standing near them or to me while talking to someone that says it), it seems to be a problem..And please do not defend them by "but the pictures look good"..The quality of the picture does not excuse the action.

[BlackjackGabbiani]

We're not talking about creepshots here. We're talking about pictures of cosplayers doing convention things. There was no invasion of privacy.

And if you heard complaints...why did none of these make it to the ears of the actual photographers?

I mentioned that to say it is up to the photographer to have the discernment to tell when a candid photo is appropriate, and this is obvious in the subject of each picture. This appropriateness isn't in a photo's aesthetic quality, but the general energy of said picture, and (to again refer back to LovelyAngel) the subjects are clearly on the positive end of the energetic spectrum. So again, when talking about candid photos, you have to give photographers room to use their judgment. Not all candid photos are inappropriate. If the photographer is shooting with the subject in mind, the pictures will usually portray them in an acceptable light. Kumoricon is as much for the whole as it is for the individual. When we're out in public doing as expressive activities as cosplay and glomp circles, it is an unspoken invitation to be considered a representative of the whole (Kumoricon) and documented/photographed/appreciated as such.

Anyway, that's all I'm going to chime in with. I encourage you to start a thread if you want to talk about it though. It's good to discuss these kinds of things, and I'm sure there are others who would enjoy doing so.

I would like to add everyone's names to the photos so proper credit is given; it doesn't matter if you prefer (or only have) a Deviantart, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter or Kcon forum account, I'd just like a link so that people know that it's you, your hard work and see what else you've done!

Will the official photos and video eventually be linked in this thread? I know there were con photographers at the Pro-Bending and the Iron Cosplay, and at a few other panels I ran or attended, and I'd love to see what they captured.

As soon as I find them, or if any of them are shared here or elsewhere, I'll add them to the top post.

Yep. Can't be viewed. I had to sign into google and everything yet it made me ask permission. Which also doesn't let me view. It must send you a request via email or something..If you get an email for a request from sorasorous, don't worry about it..


Anyway, google albums are probably the very worst of all the places to upload an album you plan to share publicly..I say post on photobucket, flickr, or something similar..

[TardisPants]

Oh darn. I could have sworn I set it to public. I'll put them on photobucket real quick.
