Yo!
It doesn't need to be a strict rule or anything but if you can, post what the cosplay is. Some of that anime & video game stuff is striking in the craftsmanship but I'll be damned if I know who those characters are.

So a kind of etiquette question regarding cosplay at cons. I know most people are coll with "hey, your costume looks great can I get a picture?"

Are there professional photo booths or kiosks set up where they charge for pictures? Part of me feels like there is a good market for taking good quality shots, but do Cons have anything against it?

Cons have long since monetized it. Go to any fan convention (anime, comics, sci-fi-fi, horror, etc) and there's sure to be "professional" cos-players there as "Guests"™. Like, they have a booth and times for photos and autographs for a nominal fee.

What I was really thinking was a monetized booth that had a chromakey background that you could change to whatever someone wanted (copyrights excluded) so forest glen, to city rooftop, to medieval castle, to clouds in the sky. Either photo realistic or cartoony or comic book style. Have a little prop stool or box to sit/stand/lay on to simulate flying/hovering. Send people a digital copy for a couple of bucks or send them with a good quality printout for a few bucks more.
