[Hu Tao Cosplay] and [Cinderella Cosplay] Record of TFP (mutual collaboration) at comic convention for Hangzhou AD06

From July 4th to 5th at the Hangzhou AD Comic Convention, I've prepared two characters with a wide gap in style this time: one is Cinderella from NIKKE, and the other is Hu Tao from NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. Regarding Hu Tao cosplay styling, these are details many photographers easily miss at conventions, such as the set of accessories on the arms with blue light special effects, which require specific angles to capture the floating texture, and the layers of black tulle and pink ruffles on the skirt hem are very rich. I've prepared the poses in advance, but of course, I look forward to the photographer's spontaneous ideas; the collision of angles and new concepts often yields photos with a greater narrative feel. For Cinderella's silver twin-tails with white light gauze, I personally prefer to find a natural light spot with good light transmission, paired with the daisies in hand to look very clean. If you're willing to add a few small props in backlit scenes, the atmospheric feel will be totally different.

Hu Tao's black tube top and semi-transparent tulle skirt rely on dynamic snapshots to display the sense of layers. The pink and black color-blocking along with rose decorations will stand out exceptionally well against dark backgrounds or in the actual convention venues. Especially that pair of bracers with cyan-blue light effects will be a huge highlight at slightly darker angles; conversely, if the light is too strong, that faint fluorescent effect will be lost. Cinderella's white layered tulle dress is perfect for aisles at the convention site or studio stairs. The composition of sitting and crossing legs can beautifully emphasize the material of the skirt. The daisy prop is the finishing touch; you can try placing one slightly closer to the lens to create a depth of field, and another at the waist or behind, giving the image composition a sense of depth.

Regarding photo editing, I insist on natural face retouching, mainly adjusting contours, light, and shadow while preserving skin texture, avoiding filters with a heavy-painted feel. That clear and transparent texture on my homepage is the style I've always pursued. In terms of schedule control, I have full confidence, and the event photo delivery won't keep you waiting for long. TFP (mutual collaboration) at comic convention is a two-way selection process. I hope the photographers who come to shoot have their own preferences for composition; it doesn't have to be a complex setting—sometimes just one or two beams of side-backlight from the convention venue are enough to make the character shine. I don't really like rigid standing poses, so photographers with ideas can communicate with me directly on-site. I am fairly experienced in controlling poses myself; as long as you propose an idea, I can realize it based on the character's traits. Actually, doing a TFP dual-character shoot tests a photographer's patience, and I hope to cooperate with the photographer to balance efficiency and quality. The first day featuring Cinderella will be more suitable for top light in the morning and noon. If it's after 3 or 4 PM, I will consider switching to Hu Tao, because Hu Tao's dark clothing blends more easily with the warm-toned light and shadow before sunset. My overall makeup is quite clean, so I only have one requirement for photo editing—maintain the recognition of the facial features themselves; natural pupils and clear-edged lip lines are enough to keep the character close to the original setting. See you this weekend at the Hangzhou AD Comic Convention! Looking forward to meeting a photographer with great chemistry to complete these two sets of works together.
