I often get asked if it is okay for someone to re-post a photo of them that I had taken at a furry con, and I just wanted to clarify that it is not only okay to do so, but I also encourage it to be done.

This has nothing to do with seeing my photos being posted up by others, but rather to allow friends and fans of the fursuiter in the photo, to converse directly with that fursuiter.

Let's be honest. A con photo posted up by some random photographer will get some views and favs, but comments will be understandably sparse. People want to tell the fursuiter how much they like the fursuit or the pose they are in, yet they know that any comments to the original photo may never be read by the fursuiter in question.

However, if that fursuiter re-posts the photo to their own gallery, it presents a way for people to comment directly to the fursuiter, knowing they will be read by the fursuiter.

This is why I encourage the fursuiters I photograph to re-post the photos of them, if they like how they came out. I want them to receive the praise and recognition that they deserve for having a fursuit that's anywhere from cute and adorable, to totally awesome or bizarrely unique.

For me, these cons are about the fursuiters and the fun and excitement they bring to the fandom, and all I want is for them to receive the attention. I'm just a humble messenger, who is thankful for the opportunity to share these convention memories with everyone, and hopefully gain those fursuiters some new fans and watchers.

So, if I ever post up a photo of you from a con (either here on FA or off of my online Gallery [see link below]), please feel free to re-post that photo in your own gallery. I really do enjoy seeing all of you receive the attention you deserve. <3
