The shooting of the 3rd JK photoshoot was scheduled for my birthday month, and the theme of this set is strawberry cake.
The outfit chosen this time is a pink-and-purple kindergarten-style set. The top features a sailor collar design, trimmed with pink at the neckline and paired with a large bow, layered with a matching light purple long-sleeve cardigan with brown pockets and buttons. The lower body is a pink pleated skirt. Since I am a boy, I paid special attention to the shoulder width and garment length when choosing this outfit; the overall cut is relatively loose, which just perfectly flatters the body shape while retaining that cute feeling. It is matched with light-colored patterned short socks and white platform shoes with slightly brownish soles, making the overall color scheme very harmonious.
The wig chosen is brown long curly hair with blunt bangs in the front and styled into low double ponytails on both sides. In terms of makeup, after the base makeup, the eye makeup was emphasized using pink-toned eyeshadow and noticeable blush, paired with light-colored contact lenses and glossy pink lip glaze on the lips. To cover the beard shadow, the pre-makeup base was done very carefully. The overall makeup style leans towards Japanese sweet style, which has a high compatibility with this outfit.
The shooting location is Mint Courtyard, and the indoor decoration is very cozy. The background features pink-striped wallpaper with small posters hanging, a bed spread with pink sheets and pillows, a pink crystal chandelier hanging above, and many plush bear and rabbit dolls placed around. Props prepared include a double-layer strawberry cake, cupcakes, and a small pink gift box with a white ribbon. A bubble machine was also prepared on-site to add some dreamy light and shadow effects.
The shooting process was very interesting. The first set of poses was lying on the bed with hands supporting the chin close to the double-layer cake, and the photographer captured expressions like closing eyes to make a wish and a wink moment. Afterwards, sitting down holding a cupcake, using colorful bubbles blown by the bubble machine as the foreground, reaching out to touch the bubbles, or closing eyes to feel the light and shadow. Finally, sitting at the bedside holding the gift box with both hands, with legs crossed to showcase the skirt hem and shoes. Photographer Xiaobai is very good at capturing angles, using overhead and tilted perspectives to wonderfully blend the character with the dolls and cake in the background.
As a boy, wearing a JK uniform for a photoshoot is a stylistic attempt for me. This time I chose the relatively sweet Kindergarten style, without deliberately emphasizing sexiness, but rather focusing on creating an overall atmosphere. From clothing selection, wig styling to makeup details, a lot of thought went into every step. Combining the strawberry cake, pink gift box, and dolls, the colors of the entire scene are extremely unified.
Starting from today, I have set myself a photoshoot project of 99 sets of JK. Currently, I've shot the 3rd set, and every shoot is a new experience. Next, I will continue to try uniforms of different styles and scenes, and seriously record every single shoot. What style would you like to see me wear in the next episode?
