This Tanga Ibuki Anime cosplay shoot directly chose a well-decorated classroom as the setting. To match the feeling of little Ibuki in Blue Archive, we drew some cute doodles on the blackboard, like ice cream, hamburgers, and small pennants, to increase the campus life vibe of the frame.
A lot of effort went into the costume and makeup styling. A dark blue sleeveless dress with a white turn-down collar tied with a thin red ribbon, and a circle of white piping along the hem of the skirt. To make the overall styling more three-dimensional, I also matched it with a red backpack. The wig chose golden long straight hair styled into twin-tails, wearing a black beret adorned with a golden badge and a pink bow, and decorated with black-and-white laced straps on the side. In terms of makeup, it mainly emphasizes the translucent feel of the eye makeup, matched with light-colored contact lenses, and a faint swipe of blush on the cheeks to highlight the character's youthful and cute style cosplay vibe.
During the shoot, I needed to sit on the desk, which is a posture that really tests balance and posture. In the first group of photos, I grabbed the backpack straps with both hands, let my legs hang down naturally, and wore a pair of white short socks; this angle can well display the overall outfit proportion and leg lines. In terms of props, a red-and-white toy katana was prepared to be placed on the desk, along with a red marker. To increase the narrative feel of the frame, I also drew a cartoon chick doodle, held it in my hand in the second group of photos, made a V-sign with the other hand, and wore a slightly playful look in my eyes. The third group of photos adjusted the sitting posture, turning sideways with both hands supporting behind, tilting the head slightly to look at the lens.
The entire shooting process was very relaxed, and the photographer teacher kept guiding me to capture the character's lively yet slightly proud state. Although shooting while sitting on the desk has a certain difficulty, requiring continuous adjustment of leg placement angles and upper body straightness, seeing the final photos made all these efforts feel worthwhile. The use of props also made the movements less rigid, such as when holding the art book, where the hands had a natural placement position. The doodles on the blackboard, alongside the wooden bookcase and clock in the classroom, formed a great background layering.
This shoot did not choose exaggerated special effects or complex background lighting, but instead hoped to use clean classroom natural light to restore a daily yet surreal 2D atmosphere. The overall colors of this set are dominated by dark blue and warm yellow, with red as an accent, making it visually harmonious. Every time I cosplay a character, from costume preparation to on-site cooperation with the photographer, it is a very interesting experience. Being able to materialize Tanga Ibuki's image in this classroom and record these moments feels very fulfilling.
