[Tsubaki (Guide) cosplay] The Tour Guide Lady from Blue Archive Secretly Taking a Nap in the Park

Taking a quick nap on the bench during a break in our outdoor photoshoot shouldn't count as slacking off, right~ After all, Tsubaki (Guide)'s daily routine is about maintaining order while enjoying a brief moment of peace. For this set, I specially chose a tree-lined avenue in the park, where the dappled light and shadow fell on the dark gray suit and black pantyhose uniform. This texture is exceptionally suited to Tsubaki's composed temperament. The small red flag and the drone overhead are the soul props. Holding them in my hands while adjusting my bow tie, I really felt like I was leading a tour group on a visit.

The combination of white gloves and black high heels restores the exquisite feel of the original design. When squatting down to find camera angles, I had to be careful not to let the skirt hem touch the fallen leaves. During the shoot, we specifically captured two states: looking down and looking up. The light spots of sunshine filtering through the leaves onto my face were incredibly natural, giving the images a film-like quality without any extra lighting equipment. The tailoring of the outfit is very sharp, but it got a little wrinkled after sitting for a long time. However, this slice-of-life messiness actually matches the character's casual state in the game much closer.

The atmosphere of this set of photos was mainly supported by natural light and prop interaction. In post-processing, only the light and dark contrast was tweaked slightly, preserving the lush greenness of the leaves and the gray tones of the suit. I hope everyone can feel this guide lady's relaxed moments outside of work; after all, staying tense all the time isn't her style at all. This experience made for a wonderful record of Anime cosplay during our park photoshoot.
