[Hu Tao Cosplay] Genshin Impact Spring Festival Greetings: Holding Couplets to Welcome Good Fortune

Spring Festival greetings outfit complete, holding vibrant red scrolls and fortune cards. This time, I chose a costume styling with a strong holiday atmosphere—white base with red trim paired with a black striped scarf, creating sharp visual contrast. A pair of red aviator sunglasses is clipped on the sailor hat, and a flower petal badge accents the chest; all of these designs fit the New Year theme wonderfully.

When shooting this set of photos, it happened to be the transition between winter and spring, and choosing this festive New Year outfit was meant to convey a vibrant holiday cheer. The texture of the costume is worth mentioning, especially the metal tassels on the black-and-white striped scarf, which feel pleasantly substantial in hand. The white stand-collar shirt paired with a cropped jacket flatters the body proportions nicely. For the bottom piece, a white plush-trimmed miniskirt was paired with black over-the-knee socks and black leather platform boots, keeping the character's refined charm while adding layers and modern flair to the style.

For makeup and hair, this dark reddish-brown wig took quite some time to trim, keeping layered sideburns and volume at the crown to look lively and playful. As for the makeup, the base was kept sheer and luminous, focusing primarily on defining the eye contours, paired with dense false eyelashes and a natural lip color to faithfully capture the character's spirit. Facing the camera, the eyes needed to exude confidence and mischievousness, requiring continuous adjustments to facial expressions and eye contact angles.

Props are also the soul of this shoot. Holding cards with \"Blessed with Fortune\" and two golden scrolls inscribed with \"Wishing You Prosperity\" and \"Attracting Wealth and Treasures,\" they perfectly match the theme of bringing good fortune and wealth. On set, photographer WiFi's lighting setup was exceptionally professional, allowing our red and white color scheme to stand out clearly even against the chaotic convention backdrop, showcasing every detail of the outfit without compromise.

For the scene set-up, a white plush rug and pink peach blossom branches were used as accents, creating a contrast with the hard industrial-style location and crafting a unique fusion of festive mood and ACG aesthetic in this anime-style photography session. Especially during the tall stool posing segment, holding up the couplets required careful composition—the scrolls had to unfold naturally without stiffness in hand gestures, while simultaneously highlighting elegant leg lines. Although arranging everything was quite tiring, the final result looks wonderfully joyful and celebratory.

Though I might be a quiet person in daily life, putting on this outfit always unconsciously awakens an energetic vitality within me. Anime-style photography is often just like this—finding the character's expressive energy through makeup, styling, and presence, fully immersing oneself to welcome the Spring Festival. This shoot filled with vibrant red elements is my expression of the holiday spirit: stretching out in front of the camera, interacting with scroll props, and freezing these good-fortune-filled visuals into eternal frames. The final outcome is lively, festive, and a thoroughly enjoyable role-playing experience.
