This Zenless Zone Zero Cosplay photoset features Jane Doe from Zenless Zone Zero. Whether in the previous teasers or this shoot, I wanted to present a state of being ready to enter battle at any moment. The costume details are extremely abundant; the cyan-gray short jacket has a sharp cut, paired with black fur collar decoration, plus layers upon layers of black straps and metal buckles at the cuffs and hem, giving it a strong techwear feel. The inner layer chose a black cropped tank top, and the red-and-black striped tie across the chest is the visual focus. The lower body features black leather shorts with metal loops. Most special are these translucent stockings; the texture design on them resembles muscle lines, and the circular cutouts at the thighs increase the overall layering. The gray-blue high-heeled boots on the feet are quite challenging to wear, and the details of the white cross straps on the boot shafts and the red-and-black painted soles are extremely faithful to the original design.
During the shoot, a pure white shadowless wall was used on site; this clean background best highlights the texture of the character and costume. To match the character's trait of standing by at any time and switching identities, I tried different exertion methods in my actions. The high single-leg lifting fighting stance requires core tightness; while maintaining balance, it also needs to express the character's ease and mastery. The set of pictures sitting on the ladder was meant to better showcase the leg lines and overall outfit. When holding the red-and-silver knife prop, the grip of the fingers was also adjusted a few times to ensure clean and sharp movements. The focus of the gaze and coordination of micro-expressions are also extremely crucial.
During the shooting process, I kept thinking about that feeling from the lines: 'No matter what identity you need, I can play it.' This mysterious and confident state is very attractive to me. Although the entire outfit has many layers, it doesn't feel restricted when worn for shooting. The advantage of studio photography is that lighting can be precisely controlled, allowing the leather's reflection and the luster of the metal buckles to be presented just right. Thanks to the photographer's lens capture, many dynamic moments frozen in time are full of tension. A lot of thought went into this action design and costume presentation, and I hope everyone can feel the character's unique charm from this set of photos.
