[Ganyu Cosplay] Genshin Impact Liyue Blues, Celebrating Dragon Boat Festival Together with Poetic Autumn Scenery

Wishing you a peaceful Dragon Boat Festival! Today, I am bringing you festival greetings in my Ganyu look. Did everyone get to eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival? Personally, I prefer salted egg yolk and pork zongzi. Taking advantage of this traditional festival, I'm posting the previously shot Lantern Rite outdoor photos as festival greetings. What I'm sharing today is the solo part of our "Liyue Group Photos." Although it's already summer now, this set was shot in late autumn with maple leaves, which creates a wonderful sense of seasonal crossover when paired with this cool yet flowing outfit.

Regarding the costume details of this look, I absolutely love the design and color scheme of this Twilight Blossom attire. It adopts a gradient starry sky palette of deep blue and light blue as the main tone, combined with a dark brown lining; this asymmetrical tailoring is highly memorable. The low-cut design at the neckline and the golden button decorations retain the character's gentle elegance while packing exquisite detail. Both sides of the headpiece are adorned with red-and-black auspicious cloud style decorations along with dangling blue tassels, making the design layers on top of the head very full. To achieve high accuracy, I spent a lot of time before the shoot adjusting the styling of the wig, ensuring that the iconic "ahoge" and the hair bundles on both sides presented a natural curve for this Ancient style outfit look.

The prop selected this time is a custom-made blue-and-white Chinese oil-paper umbrella. The umbrella surface features hand-painted pale pink flowers, and the edges of the umbrella ribs are tied with blue tassel pendants. This umbrella is not only highly unified with the costume style, but the tassels fluttering when the wind blows also add a touch of dynamic beauty to the static standing pose. The light on the day of the shoot was perfect. Although it was late autumn, the afternoon sun was still clear, shining on the stone railings of the ancient bridge and the red maple leaves, creating a highly harmonious color coordination. To capture natural moments during the shoot, I specifically adjusted the fluttering direction of the hair strands and skirt hem when the breeze blew. The photographer was also wonderful, capturing a few frames of natural gaze interaction. As a coser, pursuing the character's inner expression besides physical resemblance is a great experience in Outdoor photography.

Although the front hem of this outfit is relatively short and the high side slits pose a certain test for limb extension, combined with having to hold an umbrella, keeping balance on the bridge while managing facial expressions definitely required a bit of practice. However, the final raw photo results are highly satisfying. Our group plans to shoot a series of Liyue-related themes this time, not just individual character portraits, but also integrating local real-scene architecture. Later, when the full group's hard work is finalized, a more stunning photoset will be presented to everyone. Today, taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival, I'll release my solo photos first, hoping everyone can feel the unique charm of this combination of game character and real-world scenery in this Anime cosplay project.
