Entitled, Rude, and Exploitative.
Kristian Luaren is predatory and entitled photographer who I had the displeasure of encountering. He posts photos of cosplayers and continuously refuses to take down the posts even when asked politely. MULTIPLE friends I know have had continuous vile experience with him exploiting them. As for during the encounter in person, as he was taking the photos at the convention he was rude and gross.
I do NOT recommend. You can find many other better quality photographers out there who will provide a better experience and a product you can look back on and not feel uncomfortable with.
