[Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) cosplay] The moment of waving the flag and shouting, the collision of black stockings and the snow-white flag

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw my flag folded in half while retouching the photos, hahahahaha. Every time I look at that broken moment, I find it really interesting because I was trying so hard to wave it at the time. The overall tone of this shoot was cool-toned, with bluish lighting. Combined with the black sailor suit and the highly reflective floor, it had a very strong combat atmosphere. To match this vibe, I specifically applied heavier eye makeup. After putting on the wig, I also had to adjust the angle to match the black headdress on my forehead. The wig was very thick; although it looked good, it was indeed a bit stuffy to wear, but fortunately, the shooting time wasn't too long. The positioning guided by Mr. Qing was crucial. The pose of standing on one leg and looking back maximized the display of leg lines and sexy black stockings, so I adopted this composition. Standing poses look better than squatting ones, and the black stockings made my legs look especially long on the reflective floor. The red bow tie on the chest of this outfit is the finishing touch, and the waist-revealing design makes the body proportions look better. In order to capture the imposing feeling of waving a large flag, I had to follow the movement of the prop, occasionally looking up and paying attention to my gaze. Because the flag was huge and the fabric was translucent, waving it required not only strength but also controlling its fluttering trajectory in the wind; otherwise, it would easily cover my face. Moreover, the heels of the shoes I wore were very high, so I needed to constantly find a stable support point. The photography lights in the studio were very strong, and my face got a bit hot after shooting for a long time, but I couldn't care less in order to get good photos. Mr. Qing asked me to try many poses, such as squatting on the ground holding the flag, or half-kneeling and supporting myself on the ground. I had to find the right center of gravity every time and almost fell down. Looking at the folded flag in post-production, I really couldn't help laughing out loud, especially since that funny feeling was retained. Wearing this Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) cosplay at an anime convention was actually a very unique experience. Just as she herself said, this look is inherently very aggressive and wicked, and bringing this aura from the 2D world into the 3D world is a huge challenge. Walking in the anime convention in this gear gave me a strong aura, and I felt like everyone was watching me. Usually, it seems easy when watching others shoot, but in fact, both the large flag and the shoes are quite heavy. After shooting, one of my legs was shaking. Especially for the fourth photo where I had to swing the flag towards the ground, I had to exert force to maintain the posture and not fall over, which really tested my core strength. Also, to match the spread-out shape of the flag in that photo, I had to constantly adjust the height of my hands. Every time I do Cosplay photography, my biggest fear is the wrong wind direction, but fortunately, the movements went quite smoothly that day. Overall, through Mr. Qing's clever lighting and my hard work in posing, the dashing nature of the character was fully displayed. It was a very pleasant shooting experience, and I'm really looking forward to the next shoot.
