The shoot this time features a style leaning towards a gothic elf look. With the purple-toned lighting coordinating with the dark patterns on the umbrella surface, I am personally highly satisfied with the overall sense of atmosphere. The grip of the umbrella handle was unexpectedly good; during the shoot, to find the right layering between the umbrella surface and the sleeve flare, the angles were adjusted repeatedly several times. The photographer's control over light and shadow was perfectly on point, bringing out a three-dimensional feel from the glossy materials and pleats on the costume. The post-processing didn't over-do the color grading, mainly retaining that deep, cool purple vibe. To be honest, this outfit has quite a lot of accessories—the bowtie, the waist cincher, the ruffles on the cuffs, and even the curvature of the wig's bangs all need careful straightening before every shoot.
Lately, I've been pushing through Shiyu Defense in Zenless Zone Zero; the last stage is always just a tiny bit short. I casually claim the Polychromes at 6 stars and back out, but I see many pros' techniques can genuinely boost the score. If there's an experienced gamer girl willing to teach me a trick or two, that would be wonderful. Usually, I also keep an eye out for other Zenless Zone Zero cosers' works; everyone's level of restoration and creativity is fantastic. I hope to get to know more friends with great aesthetics in the fan community, and exchange insights on shooting and photo editing together.
