Calssara was one of the special guests at Otaku 2012 and she had a session talking about cosplay in her country, Germany. She told they never pay the photographers (as the photographers are the one needing to pay the models) and they prefer to learn and do the shooting and editing themselves, since after a 2 hours session, the photographer will give only 3 photos. It was not the time and place for me to try to intervene, telling how is a 2 hours session is a good thing if you get 10-15 good photos (publish worthy) and how bad photos are not useful for the model. Actually I see this conflict: models pushing for all the photos ("I had a pretty smile in that one, does not matter my legs and arms are unflattering"), while the photographer refusing to put his name on pictures less than his intended level (any photo session, from any photographer, will produce some bad photos). After all, Calssara do some decent pictures, so learning is always a good thing. Still, I think some people have to learn more about the TFCD concept.
