That wish I understand, and respect. There are members of such an order (The Amish) near where my grandmother used to live.
I'm talking about people who deliberately dress differently from how they normally would to attract attention (and protraying a fictional character counts) at conventions.
Most people who do this understand that their photos may be taken. In 30+ years of attending conventions I've only personally encountered three or four who didn't. (Though I have heard of others.)
Of course, the photographer has an obligation not to act like a jerk.
