[Itagaki Kanoe cosplay] The gloomy and cute observer in Blue Archive

For this Itagaki Kanoe photoshoot, I specifically chose a real-life cafe scene with retro leather sofas and black-and-white checkered floors. The light purple twin-tail wig paired with brown wooden bead hair accessories, matched with a white shirt, grey vest, and red striped tie—this standard Uniform style look stands out with great texture under the warm lighting. To fit the character's setting of "I've been observing you all along," I held a red glass potion bottle as a prop during the shoot, trying poses like resting my chin on my hand, glancing back, and sitting curled up on the sofa with one leg. The high-angle shot captured the sitting posture and prop details well, while naturally integrating the background window and light into the frame. The design of black stockings paired with bare feet added a touch of casualness and personal style. In post-production, I added the character's iconic halo effect above my head to strengthen the 2D attribute. The overall shooting pace was relaxed, and the photographer did a great job capturing moments of eye contact, giving the photos a quiet yet mysterious narrative feel. Through this shoot, I have gained a more concrete way of expressing this type of school character with a slight dark attribute.
