The post-production work for The tiger's roar stirs up the wind White tiger girl theme official photos was completely finished today. The core idea of this shoot was to combine traditional Chinese elements with the setting of a kemonomimi girl, and make some specific attempts from clothing to set design.
On the clothing side, a black sleeveless modified Qipao was chosen. This Qipao features golden piping treatments at the neckline and sides, with sheer mesh piecing on the chest. The skirt body is dotted with white cat paw prints and floral embroidery, and the hem has a lace edge. The shoulders are paired with a heavy, fluffy white plush shawl, scattered with several golden flower decorations, and this furry texture is extremely expressive in front of the lens. The lower body is matched with white pantyhose, with red ropes and bells tied around the ankles. The wig is white twin-tails, topped with Animal ears featuring black stripes and ear tips, and huge golden spherical bells hanging on both sides, which sway strongly when walking.
In terms of makeup, to match the white hair and the overall cool-toned clothing, I used blue contact lenses, with eyeshadow mainly in red-pink tones, intensifying the smudging at the outer corners of the eyes, and chose a truer red for the lip makeup, overall emphasizing facial stereoscopic sense and visual impact.
The shooting scene was set up in an indoor studio with a strong Chinese style. The background is a wooden screen with geometric window panes, next to which hangs a semi-transparent gauze curtain with calligraphy written on it. A wooden armchair was placed on site, covered with white fur. Next to it was a Chinese-style wooden table, on which a lantern-styled desk lamp and a white porcelain vase were placed. The floor was covered with wooden boards, and a Go board, a vase filled with peony flowers, and an orange-yellow oiled paper umbrella were also arranged. These elements integrated together provide a very good sense of layering for the entire frame.
In action design, due to the tailoring of the clothing and the matching of the Stockings, I tried to find more possibilities for showcasing body lines in sitting postures. For example, sitting on the wooden chair with crossed legs, letting the shawl slide down naturally, placing one hand on the chair armrest or fur, and picking up a writing brush as a prop with the other hand. This posture can well showcase the leg lines, the texture of the Stockings, and the overall proportions. When standing, putting hands on both sides of the head to slightly mimic cat paw actions, matching a playful expression, prevents the overall atmosphere from being too dull.
To highlight the texture of the white plush shawl, the photographer put a lot of thought into on-site lighting. The main light source leans towards a soft side backlight, which can present delicate fuzz edges when hitting the fur. At the same time, a reflector was used to fill in light for the face, ensuring that under the foil of the dark Qipao, the face and eyes remain the visual focus. This set of pictures was a challenge for me in expression management. I tried to present a gaze that is somewhat lazy, confident, and retains the playful feel of felines. From the landing point of the gaze, the arc of the corners of the mouth, to the posture of the body, every detail was repeatedly adjusted, striving to let everyone feel the unique charm of the White tiger girl setting. This set of official photos can be considered an exploration of mine in style, and the overall outcome achieved the expectations before the shoot.
