The schedule for these two days at Bilibili World was packed to the brim, and as a sensei, it was truly painful yet joyful. This time, I brought two Blue Archive cosplay looks for the Cosplay convention photos: one refreshing cozy home pajamas style, and the other a gorgeous Japanese style Yukata, which perfectly matched the different weather and moods of the convention. On the first day, I wore that short-sleeved pajama set with a light blue base and pink hearts, paired with a rabbit-ear headband and the blue halo on top of my head. The lighting was superb when shooting this look at the outdoor plaza; the natural light made the blue wig look very translucent, even bringing out the texture of the hair strands. The ruffle shorts and slippers of the pajamas were a very comfortable match, and I didn't feel tired walking around the exhibition halls. So my movements on the first day were quite casual: standing, sitting on the carpet with my hands on my cheeks, or crossing my arms to strike a lazy pose, feeling very close to my usual state of resting at home. Many fellow fans passing by also said this look had a great slice-of-life vibe.
On the second day, I changed into that deep blue Japanese style Yukata. This set truly has a lot of details, from the black fuzzy collar at the neckline to the orange-red knot on the back, as well as that purple-and-blue headpiece and the red ring decoration, making the overall layering very strong. When taking photos in the Japanese style Yukata, the movements were a bit more meticulous; looking back at the camera, standing while holding a bag, and kneeling on the floor could all showcase the wide sleeves of the yukata and the waist-cinching effect of the sash. When this set was shot in the outdoor shade, the deep blue fabric paired with the silver-white hair and white tabi socks created a strong color contrast, which was visually very eye-catching.
Over the two days, from standing to sitting and then to kneeling, I tried different perspectives and experienced two completely different character vibes. Actually, the joy of Cosplay convention photos lies in the sense of interaction within a real environment; though the background buildings and passersby are blurred out, that lively convention atmosphere can still be felt through the photographs. As a coser, every time I bring a character to life, I repeatedly check the details, such as the trimming of the wig, the stability of the props, and the comfort of the clothing, because these directly affect my state during the shoot. For this time's two looks, I made all the wearing preparations in advance, including securing the headpieces and the tying method for the sash, so the shooting process went relatively smoothly without the need for frequent adjustments. Special thanks to the photographer who helped click the shutter this time, beautifully restoring the skin tone and clothing colors even under harsh light. Ultimately, both sets of photos are works I am highly satisfied with, serving as a precious record of this Bilibili World trip through Anime-style photography.
