This time, the exterior location for Anchorage Swimsuit cosplay was chosen at an outdoor pool. The overall color tone is mainly blue and white, which fits the summer atmosphere very well. Anchorage is a heavy cruiser of the Eagle Union faction, so this swimsuit retains the exquisite elements from the original design such as lace, ribbons, and metal decorations, but the material was changed to fabrics more suitable for entering the water. The twin-tail wig is very prone to frizz in a high-humidity environment, so before the shoot, I used a lot of styling products and fixed the hair ends with blue-and-white ribbons to ensure they wouldn't scatter during underwater movements. To prevent makeup from melting in the water, both base makeup and eye makeup used strong waterproof products, especially the pink-purple contact lenses, which looked very translucent under the strong outdoor light. The sunlight on the day of the shoot was very strong, and the surface reflection of the water was severe. When shooting in the water, I basically couldn't see the camera at all, and completely relied on the tacit understanding with the photographer for blind shooting. In the first group of underwater shots, the white foam churned up by the splashes happened to cover the waistline, matching the floating sense of the semi-transparent lace trumpet sleeves under water, presenting a hazy visual effect. However, opening eyes in the water is indeed very challenging, plus the White stockings absorbed water and clung to the legs, requiring reorganization after coming ashore to restore the tight wrapping feel. The second group of shots was taken near the wooden floor and the killer whale float. The over-the-knee White stockings can modify the leg lines very well, paired with a white bikini and a light, thin skirt hem, visually elongating the overall proportions. The white clothes are particularly eye-catching against the blue background of the pool. To showcase the elegance of the Eagle Union heavy cruiser and the character's liveliness, I tried to lean my body's center of gravity on the float, facing the camera with a relatively relaxed posture, but my back and thighs needed to exert hidden force to maintain the flatness of the lines. During this shoot, there was a big temperature difference between the water and the outdoors, so every time I came out of the water, I had to quickly put on a towel to keep warm, and then adjust my state to continue shooting. The lighting and shadows of the entire set of photos relied entirely on the natural light of the day without using complex fill-light equipment, just to preserve the clean and translucent original texture of the pool. Judging from the final photos, the refraction of water waves and the texture of sunlight fit the summer theme very well, making it a very rare shooting experience.
