[Nahida Cosplay] The Joy of Checking In at the Anime Convention with the Lesser Lord Kusanali Itasha

5.2 ACG Convention photos are finally out! Looking back at the photoshoot that day, despite the dense crowds, using this set of photos to document the trip feels truly meaningful.

To faithfully recreate Genshin Impact's Nahida, we did extensive preparation beforehand. The white wig was styled meticulously to match the green leaf-shaped hair ornaments, complemented by the green-and-white dress with gold patterns and highly recognizable character shoes. Notably, the red light glowing along the shoe soles added an extra magical \"Dendro element\" feel in the dimmer underground parking garage setup. Given the character's design, the costume's flowing lightness and color unity were my top priorities; wearing it felt remarkably refreshing and matched this bright green Itasha perfectly.

The highlight of this shoot was the Lesser Lord Kusanali Itasha designed by \"Honki ITASHA.\" The bright green body paintwork and livery design aligned seamlessly with Nahida's visual elements. Character decals on the hood and side doors brought immersive depth to the whole scene. Special thanks to the Itasha design team for providing custom visual presentation, making the interaction between cosplayer and vehicle exceptionally strong; the green car body beautifully set off the white wig and attire, blending vibrant color contrast with harmony.

Photographer @Suixia Yinghua was adept at capturing light and angles. When I leaned against the car door making a playful V sign, the photographer caught my most natural, relaxed state. Special thanks to Siyin-daren for posing guidance; combining different positions and body language with this visually striking car made capturing great shots effortless. Though temperatures weren't low at the convention, shooting in a well-ventilated underground garage alongside this eye-catching convertible sports car attracted many passing onlookers, whose presence helped me unlock a better performative state.

The overall shoot rhythm was smooth, with the photographer constantly communicating composition and facial expression relaxation. The vibrant Itasha tone created a sharp visual contrast with Nahida's white-and-green outfit, while the lighting setup yielded clean tonal quality for our set. Seeing the hair color, makeup, and car body resonate in the final shots made all prep work feel completely worth it. In Cosplay photography, encountering fitting locations, professional photography teams, and exquisite props during any convention check-in or outdoor shoot is a immense stroke of luck. I'm not one to pile up fancy rhetoric; to me, playing cosplay is all about restoring the character while conveying my personal understanding through photography.

After wrapping this event, I felt relaxed without heavy fatigue, genuinely enjoying the experience of bringing a 2D character into real-world spaces. Capturing this splash of Dendro green alongside the Itasha serves as the best possible record of this convention. Right after filming, I reviewed raw unedited images on site—the texture was great, fulfilling my imagination for the character setting. I am especially grateful to everyone behind the scenes; without Siyin-daren's posing direction, finding the most fitting posture on this vehicle would have been tough, and holding small props and plushies added rich interactive fun to the visuals.

This shoot successfully presented the character's playful charm and fresh traits combined with the environment. During roaming and shooting, we met many passersby who also loved the work and showed immense interest in the Itasha. This bustling atmosphere born from shared passion is precisely what makes anime conventions so captivating. I hope through these Convention photos, everyone can feel the joy I experienced and the unique charm inherent to the character.
