[Sparxie cosplay] Honkai: Star Rail Sweet Dream Radio shooting record

This shooting project is Sparxie's Sweet Dream Radio styling in Honkai: Star Rail. After receiving this theme, I spent quite a lot of time studying the clothing matching and makeup details. To fit the setting of Sweet Dream Radio which combines street fashion and a futuristic feel, I chose a white long twin-tail wig with gradient pink highlights, pinned black bow hair accessories on both sides of the top of the head, and left a few strands of stray hair on both sides of the cheeks to modify the face shape. In terms of accessories, I chose a pair of pink translucent-framed sunglasses rested on top of the head, paired with X-shaped and cartoon-patterned hairpins on the right side, instantly bringing out that mischievous yet sweet-cool vibe.
I made many attempts with the makeup, this time featuring pink tones as the main theme. A large area of pink eyeshadow was applied and blended around the eyes, paired with pink contact lenses to make the gaze look more translucent. Star-shaped sequins were dotted on the cheeks, matching blusher to enhance the rosy vitality. The lip makeup chose a relatively high-saturation red, and the entire makeup needed to highlight the fair skin texture and the three-dimensionality of the facial features. The clothes are a black off-the-shoulder short-sleeved long-sleeved top, with the chest zipper half-open, and brown bear plush dolls decorated on both shoulders, giving the overall outfit an extra layer of cute contrast. The lower body is paired with a red-and-black plaid pleated skirt, and the wide belt at the waist with black-and-white geometric patterns has a very heavy-duty craftsmanship feel. The leg detail is the focus: black fishnet stockings and stockings paired with asymmetric slouch socks, one side with a white bow and straps, stepping on black platform leather shoes, and wearing a black leather collar on the neck, perfectly restoring that street subculture style.
The shooting scene was chosen in an indoor studio with large areas of graffiti walls and neon signs. On-site, there was not only a black replica racing motorcycle but also a vintage arcade cabinet and a red toolbox. The bright yellow and pink-purple graffiti on the graffiti wall, under the illumination of complex light sources, is a huge test for the camera's color reproduction ability. This shoot used the a7m5 paired with a 35-150 lens; this focal length combination is simply invincible for indoor studio shooting. The 35mm end can easily encompass the entire motorcycle and background, conveying that Cyberpunk-like environmental feel; while the 150mm end allows me to stay a bit farther from the photographer, making it convenient to capture close-ups of the face and catch the eye-light.
My interaction on-site also tried to get as close to the setting as possible. Sitting on the motorcycle fuel tank eating a pink lollipop, showing that casual state. In the photo of sitting on the red box in Figure 1, I deliberately adjusted my leg posture, slightly bending the leg wearing the black fishnet stockings and stockings, and resting my hands naturally on my knees and the motorcycle, which not only showcased the details of the clothing but also made the body lines more relaxed. When shooting the photo of hair blowing in Figure 6, we tried shaking our heads quickly several times, hoping to let the white long twin-tails present a flowing dynamic, matching the hard-core background of the motorcycle and graffiti wall to form a visual tension. Finally, there is a picture of picking up a white mobile phone to take a selfie, with a colorful beaded chain hanging on the phone, also wanting to show a more daily-life, internet-trendy state. Throughout the process, the photographer was very good at guiding, coupled with the neon light atmosphere on-site, this set of photos was completed very smoothly.
