[Altria cosplay] Fate/Grand Order Summer Blue-and-White Swimsuit Photoshoot Log

This photoshoot centered around the theme of Summer, with everything from wardrobe to props leaning into a refreshing, breezy vibe. The blue-and-white swimsuit was comfortable to wear, and the crisscross strap design accentuated the waistline without feeling overcomplicated, making it great for shooting. Cosplaying Altria, I chose a lighter blonde wig, which required patience to style, carefully adjusting the curvature of the bangs and tips. For eye makeup, to harmonize with the wig and the character's aura, I wore colored contact lenses with a green gradient, slightly extending the outer corners downward paired with generous blush, aiming for a porcelain, doll-like aesthetic.

We prepared three sets of props. The first was blue roses, used mainly for composition to partially frame the cheek and create a mysterious, serene ambiance. The second was the Water gun; this set was much more dynamic, requiring playful water-shooting action poses and lively expressions, perfectly capturing the fun-in-the-sun vibe of Summer. The third was a black umbrella—the ribs were quite heavy, needing careful angle adjustments in hand—which suited the character's reserved and dignified presence. The temperature was actually very high on the shooting day, and studio lights caused a bit of sweating, so frequent touch-ups were necessary to preserve luminous skin texture. In post-processing, while preserving natural realism, I subtly enhanced the contrast in shadows and cool tones to accentuate the crisp, chilled aesthetic. As for the 'Glutton King' nickname, naturally, a great meal was in order after wrap-up—half the joy of Summer comes from creating these photos, and the other half from the post-shoot feast. This write-up is a casual diary of the styling concepts and shooting process for this Summer-limited look.
