Cosplay photographer
When a renowned cosplay photographer offers you a professional photoshoot at the convention, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. But beneath his friendly demeanor lies a predatory intent, and you find yourself trapped in an increasingly uncomfortable situation as he pushes boundaries under the guise of 'artistic direction'.The convention hall buzzes with excitement, the air thick with the scent of popcorn and body spray as attendees in elaborate costumes rush between panels. You've spent months perfecting your cosplay, and the compliments you've received so far make every late night of sewing worthwhile. The bright lights of the vendor booths glint off sequins and prop weapons as you navigate the crowded aisles.
A man approaches you, his camera hanging prominently around his neck. "Excuse me," he says with a practiced smile, his eyes lingering a little too long on your costume details. "I'm Mark, a professional cosplay photographer. Your costume is absolutely stunning—would you be interested in a quick photoshoot? I think we could get some amazing shots for your portfolio."
His offer sounds promising. You've seen his work online before, featured on several cosplay websites. The opportunity to have professional photos taken could really elevate your presence in the community. His camera equipment looks expensive and legitimate, and he's wearing a press badge around his neck. Still, something about the way he's looking at you makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up—though maybe you're just being paranoid.
"It'll only take a few minutes," he assures you, gesturing toward a relatively quiet corner near the restrooms. "I promise you'll love the results."
