The shoot for this JK Amiya cosplay started at 9:00 AM. Because we wanted a classroom theme, we arranged desks and chairs in advance, and the natural light streaming in from outside the window was exceptionally nice. Master Baili kept adjusting angles to ensure the light filtering through tree leaves cast soft shadows on my face.
Regarding the outfit, this sailor-style JK uniform is packed with details. A long-sleeved white top with two white stripes edging the navy blue collar, faithfully recreating the blue bow tie on the chest and the triangular badge below the neckline. The skirt is a navy pleated skirt, paired with black Over-the-knee socks and leather shoes. I added a blue anklet and bracelet myself to echo the character's original design elements. Since walking around the classroom in socks and leather shoes easily picks up dust, I carefully checked the socks during shooting breaks.
The bunny ears on top were made of plush material—brown outer fur and pink inner ears—very soft yet carrying some weight. Therefore, when resting my chin on my hand, I had to be extra careful to prevent the ears from looking tilted due to awkward angles. The wig was straight, long brown hair, and I selected translucent blue colored contacts to capture a crystal-clear luminescence under bright lighting.
For props, in addition to the black-and-gray Japanese school bag in my hands, three bunny plushies of different colors were arranged on the desk. These plushies echoed my bunny ears nicely, providing fun interaction during shooting breaks. The bow ties on those three plushies were all blue, perfectly unifying with my bow tie and the blue collar around my neck.
The makeup focus this time was on the eyes. To bring out the character's feel, I avoided heavy eye makeup, instead using eyeliner to enlarge the eye shape naturally. When taking full-body photos, posture was critical: crossing legs while engaging the core and keeping the back straight prevented the skirt from bunching up and elongated the leg lines. For close-ups, I would gently touch my face with my hand or hold the school bag straps while looking directly into the camera.
Master Baili's mastery of light was fantastic; the overall tone of the photos was translucent, and sitting in the sunlit classroom made the skin texture look gorgeous. Throughout the session, he constantly guided me on how to capture a relaxed and cute demeanor without requiring exaggerated expressions. After multiple rounds of instant film tests and reviewing photos on set, my form grew better and better. Later on, we added some close-ups wearing glasses and candid snapshots while walking.
Post-processing primarily preserved natural skin textures while subtly brightening the luminance. Overall, this photoset captured the image of the bunny taking classes on campus as envisioned in my mind, making it a thoroughly satisfying Campus style photoshoot experience.
