This shoot took place in an outdoor leisure area surrounded by dense tropical greenery. The light beige fabric sofa paired with wooden decking, and the broad-leaved tropical foliage like banana leaves in the background produced fantastic depth of field under natural lighting, providing a transparent, vibrant atmosphere for the entire composition.
Regarding attire, I wore a blue plaid dress patterned with pink-and-white lines, layered with a white lace apron over top. The neckline and cuffs were finished with red piping, while the hem of the dress and the apron borders featured abundant ruffled lace trim—this layered design added striking three-dimensional definition before the lens. For the hair, built on a short brown base, I styled twin pigtails on either side of the crown with muted grayish-blue highlights at the tips and strands. Atop my head sat a pair of tall plush rabbit ears—brown on the outside and white on the inside—with a light blue ribbon pinned at the base of the left twintail, capturing the signature Bunny girl look of Amiya cosplay. For makeup, bright blue contact lenses were paired with a clean, luminous foundation and natural eye makeup, complemented by a soft muted-red lip to evoke a quiet, demure visual presence.
For props, we specially prepared an oversized plush pillow modeled after White Rabbit creamy candy. The cushion featured signature red and blue stripes, printed with 'WHITE RABBIT' in English, the Chinese characters for 'White Rabbit' in black, and the classic red-and-white rabbit graphic. This prop played a wonderful interactive role throughout the shoot, filling visual voids while playfully echoing the Bunny girl ear motifs.
In choreographing the shooting poses, the first set had me seated in the center of the sofa with crossed legs, cradling the pillow with one arm while looking directly into the camera—a pose that elegantly showcased the leg lines and tiered layers of the skirt. The second pose involved leaning forward slightly, holding the cushion vertically between my knees, drawing visual focus directly to the face for an attentive, focused gaze. The third had me sitting upright on the sofa's edge with the pillow flat across my lap and legs resting naturally together, contrasting the white ankle socks against the dark wooden floor. The final sequence focused on half-body close-ups, hugging the cushion tightly to my chest while angling slightly sideways toward the lens, using the plush fullness of the pillow to enrich compositional depth in this Outdoor cosplay.
The shoot relied primarily on natural light. To avoid harsh facial shadows, we positioned ourselves at the edge of tree shade with gentle light filtering through the canopy, utilizing diffused bounce light to illuminate the face. To keep the background from looking cluttered, the aperture was set wide to render the foliage behind into a soft, creamy bokeh. The layers of the wig were smoothed out beforehand, and the bunny ear headpiece was securely pinned at the base of the twintails to prevent shifting during movement. In conveying emotion, I maintained a calm yet resolute gaze; rather than smiling broadly, a subtly tucked chin and a steady, direct gaze into the lens effortlessly communicated the character's temperament. From the final images, the costume textures, prop authenticity, and ambient lighting all harmonized to achieve our intended vision for this Arknights Outdoor cosplay piece.
