I really do prefer that cosplayers come up with their own ideas, especially if it's an anime I don't know about. This usually doesn't happen though. It's mostly me implementing my ideas in my shoots. When it's an anime or game I don't know about, I just run off reference photos. I think my photos come out better when it's an anime I've seen though, because then I'll have a better idea of what type of photo I should capture.

I think the end result is best when both the cosplayer and photographers have an idea of what they want.
