For this shoot, I selected a motorcycle as a prop that fits the character's temperament seamlessly. Honestly, this red bodysuit is extremely unforgiving on body shape; putting it on takes immense effort to smooth out every wrinkle. The fabric is glossy, which highlights body contours beautifully but also shows creases easily, demanding extra caution when moving along seaside and mountain paths. For hair, long extensions were used; with strong coastal winds blowing them everywhere, my assistant practically followed behind me the entire time adjusting strands to maintain styling, which is why the hair looks so effortless and natural in the final shots.
Regarding locations: the first photo was shot on a seaside winding mountain road, with sunset light shining from behind the mountains in direct backlight while waves shimmered across the water. This natural light paired with the camera lens flare effect was fantastic, creating rich atmosphere without needing much extra lighting. The third picture was a composite, blending seaside scenery with autumn mountain roads and traffic flow on the right, looking very expansive visually. The second photo specifically featured a mountain road dotted with autumn foliage, plus falling leaves in the foreground, forming a beautiful visual echo with the red bodysuit.
Selecting the bike also took a lot of thought; I specially asked an artist to make custom vinyl body decals, with character graphics matching the overall color palette perfectly. The motorcycle itself is quite heavy; sitting on it required balancing carefully and stretching my legs out wide to keep the bodysuit's lines taut and flattering. Because the outfit is skin-tight, joint mobility was constrained during the shoot. Poses like straddling and turning around were more strenuous than usual, demanding both stamina and flexibility. Furthermore, with this glossy material, reflections were a major headache during shooting—improper lighting would easily make it look like a red plastic tarp. We relied heavily on light and shadow coordination; if the sun's angle was slightly off, we had to wait for the light to improve before resuming.
After extensive discussion with the photographer, we tried more dynamic postures, letting the long hair catch the wind naturally to emphasize the character's defiant, wild streak. Being autumn, outdoor temperatures weren't high, and standing in the wind wearing a bodysuit grew chilly over time. To catch the best sunset light, we started setting up in the afternoon and shot until the sun went down. Despite the twists and turns, between the backdrop of the real environment and subsequent fine-tuning of lens flares and layer details, the final results were satisfying. In short, it was a very special and challenging Outdoor photography experience.
