To be honest, this shoot at Foshan Louvre was an "extreme challenge." Because the schedule was quite tight, the props and wig were hurriedly sorted out on-site. In particular, the ribs of the parasol ran into a minor issue temporarily, making me worry throughout the shoot that it would suddenly stop working. However, seeing the finished photos, I feel all the rush was completely worth it. This Navia outfit from Genshin Impact has so many details—the bow tie on the chest, the helm decoration on the side of the waist, and the layered structure of the skirt hem, every single part is exquisite. During the shoot, we specially chose this European-style spiral staircase and floor tiles with vintage patterns, which perfectly fit the character's noble temperament. The warm-toned lighting inherent to the venue also saved a lot of effort in post-processing color grading.

Regarding the "blurry dreamlike feeling" that everyone asked about, it was actually achieved by using a slightly soft-focus lens combined with diffuse reflection fill light, creating a slight glow on the edges. This gives the final photos a cinematic touch, rather than an effect so sharp that it looks like a game screenshot. The photographer was very patient, constantly capturing my dynamic movements of spinning the umbrella and turning sideways. Although the preparation was insufficient, I feel that the lazy yet reserved state in the final photos possesses more vitality than deliberate posing. The fabric texture of the costume reveals interwoven layers of black and gold under the warm light, while the curls of the light blonde wig perfectly fill the blank space on the sides of the face, making the overall styling look fuller. Although this collaboration was rushed, everyone cooperated with great tacit understanding, making it a very special memento for this Cosplay photography collection.
