To complete the Yuezheng Ling 10th Anniversary special project this time, I specially brought an electric guitar into the real-scene studio. This red and white color-blocked guitar in my hands, paired with the classic red and black plaid pleated skirt, perfectly highlights her energetic yet slightly rock-infused stage persona. The hairstyle was intentionally treated with deep red highlights on a black base; under the warm yellow live lighting, the hair color formed an excellent visual interaction with the color of the rose collar accessory.
During the shoot, the venue was covered with golden sequins and warm-colored velvet curtains, which, along with the drum kit and disco ball set design, created the illusion of being right inside a gorgeous Live venue. To recreate that tense stage feel, the makeup this time leans clean and sharp, avoiding intentionally darkening the eye makeup and instead making the gaze appear more focused and direct. There is also that pair of black lace-up mid-calf leather boots, which not only elongates the leg lines but also adds a touch of sharp, androgynous beauty to the entire look.
The character Yuezheng Ling has accompanied many friends who love Vocaloid music, and her musical style is often full of vitality and power. The milestone of the 10th anniversary is very special, so I hope to present her most confident and dazzling moment through this stage photography set. When shooting some strumming close-ups, even the subtle reflection of the sequins landing on the guitar neck was captured. These kinds of details really make you feel like you are standing on a stage where you can fully unleash your emotions.
The entire shooting process was actually full of challenges—needing to coordinate with exaggerated hair movements while keeping the posture of holding the guitar natural and relaxed. Especially at the split second when the full-stage lighting effects and golden sequins scatter, one needs to quickly grasp the perfect emotional peak. However, precisely because of the addition of these authentic environments, it gave this 10th anniversary commemorative shoot a unique meaning. Freezing this moment with photos is a very fulfilling thing.
