[Amiya cosplay] Capturing the spring atmosphere of Arknights between roses and White Rabbit

The styling from the White Rabbit crossover collaboration finally made it to a full outdoor photoshoot. To celebrate the Arknights 7th Anniversary Creator Support Program, when preparing this outfit, I specifically selected clean and refreshing summer Blue and white plaid fabric. The delicate red details at the neckline echo the diamond patterns on the apron, and paired with the iconic blue-and-white soft plush cushion of White Rabbit, the refreshing vibe is completely maxed out visually. The sunlight was wonderful on the day of the shoot, so I spread a picnic mat across the lawn. In fact, the photos you see were originally shot horizontally, but when posting, I deliberately rotated the raw images 90 degrees—which is why you might see the joke about "tilting your head 90 degrees to the right." Looking at the world from a different angle might just bring a whole new state of mind.

We shot across several distinct scenes. The first scene was set on the lush green lawn with the Blue and white plaid picnic mat spread out, where I wanted to create the relaxed vibe of a weekend outing. Sitting on the ground in this outfit while holding the giant rabbit cushion with soft green grass at my feet, the lens captured lazy and casual moments. Lying or leaning on the ground actually puts your posture to the test—balancing between keeping the skirt neat and looking natural required several tries before achieving a satisfying result. The second scene was set in front of a full wall of climbing rose vines, right in full bloom with abundant pink blossoms. Closing my eyes immersed in the flowers as the gentle breeze drifted past made even breathing feel slow and peaceful. The photographer was exceptional at capturing light; sunlight filtered through petals onto my face, matching the pink-purple highlights of the wig to look dreamily ethereal. The third scene was positioned beneath a massive metallic mesh circular ring structure—the most architecturally structured spot in the area—where the curvature of the ring framed me right in the center, lending a distinctive sense of spatial composition in this Cosplay photography.

I chose this outfit not only because it recreates the capable charm and cuteness of Amiya cosplay in the original lore, but also to echo the costume's unique blend of everyday comfort and dreaminess. Throughout the shoot, the photographer constantly caught color details under natural light—whether the lace trim on the skirt hem, the pink-purple highlights on the hair ends, or the three-dimensional depth of the White Rabbit plush cushion—capturing faithful textures through the lens. The Arknights 7th Anniversary is a major milestone, and through this creator support entry, I hoped to convey my love for Rhodes Island and this character across the images. It truly serves as a cross-dimensional medium, blending my affection for the Operator into real-world sunshine and breezes.

Shooting outdoors was completely different from previous indoor studio sessions; natural light shifts quickly outdoors, so we often had to seize the best front-lit angles within a short window. Many times, we had to wait patiently to avoid passersby or ensure a clean background. However, seeing the final photos with layered warm-and-cool tones and clear light-and-shadow gradations made all the hard work worthwhile. The White Rabbit merchandise was an unexpected delight—its soft feel and striking colors were a match made in heaven with this Blue and white plaid dress. Strong outdoor gusts occasionally caught the skirt awkwardly—situations you never encounter in a studio—yet these unpredictable elements made every shutter click exceptionally precious.

Ultimately, every cosplay project is a tangible manifestation of what I love. The 7th anniversary is not the end, but the beginning of the next chapter. Sharing this photo set is also a way to report back to all the friends who have quietly supported me. I hope my interpretation of this character in Arknights brings you a bit of healing comfort. Thank you all for your love and support.
