You may purchase this pass on our registration page. Please be sure to fill out all fields when purchasing so we can list you correctly.
Anyone is welcome to take photos at the convention, but if you intend to charge people and cosplayers for photoshoots, then for their protection, we require you to purchase a photographer‘s pass.
Rules
What the photographer pass does not provide you:
*Does not get you “all access.” We are working to see if we can get all photographers front for the masquerade. Since too many in front of the stage can cause issues, the cosplay coordinators have the final say on who can be front.
*Does not grant you the power to remove attendees from a given area. Our attendees are generally nice people and if you simply ask them to clear the area for your photoshoot, they will likely comply, but you cannot force them to move.
What the photographer pass does provide:
-Once you have paid for your pass, you may make 1 post in our cosplay facebook group to advertise.
-The photographer pass grants you 4-day badge access to the convention.
Additional Rules/Info:
-Light stands are limited to one inside the Kalahari buildings and indoor water park, with a limit of a 42” reflector. Shoots in the outside areas are unrestricted. Clamp lights are permitted indoors if the clamp is non-marking and has rubberized grips.
