[Charon cosplay] Reverse: 1999, a dark photoshoot framed with a black horse

This shoot was truly a very special attempt, challenging the internet's very first set of Charon photos taken with a real horse. Although the difficulty of the venue and animal coordination was much larger than imagined, looking at the final photo results, everything was completely worth it. To restore the character's silent yet destiny-laden atmosphere, we selected an extremely dark stable and outdoor bushes. The tears and bloodstains on the white cloth were manually distressed piece by piece, and that red-covered book prop in hand was also repeatedly checked against the in-game details. That black horse was remarkably gentle; standing there, it looked just like a creature stepping out of a medieval night, fitting perfectly with the character's tone. We actually encountered quite a few small episodes during the shooting process, such as how to cast the lantern's light source to keep it mysterious without revealing the setup, as well as controlling the horse's state and positioning. Fortunately, the photographer Haimao has strong snapshot skills, bringing out the texture of the dog tags and rose petals in several close-ups. I didn't do too many post-processing special effects for this photo set, wanting more to use the on-site lighting and real-scene texture to convey the character's emotions of 'remembrance' and 'heaviness.' It's a rare opportunity to do this kind of narrative-leaning creation in such a dark environment; although the discard rate wasn't low, the few selected frames are highly satisfying.
