This time, to prepare for the independent anime convention tour at the Guangzhou CICF Expo, I organized several sets of different styles of cosplay photo sets shot recently.
The first styling leans towards a magical fantasy theme, featuring pink curly hair paired with a red-and-white dress. The blue staff in hand, featuring a glowing pink sphere, was custom-made. Shot in an indoor space like an exhibition hall corridor with linear ceilings, the fill light hitting it creates a great effect.
The second one leans towards an ethereal fantasy style, formatted like a poster layout. A light long tulle dress intertwined with silver-white and cyan-blue, wearing a floral crown and halo on the head, matched with blue butterflies and pink flowers in the background, creating a strong overall atmospheric feel.
The third one is the classic sailor-collar school uniform. A white-and-blue color-blocked top paired with a plaid pleated skirt, wearing white stockings. Sitting on the bench by the window, holding a white rose bouquet in hand, with a blue backpack beside as an embellishment, utilizing the natural light outside the window to shoot a quiet atmosphere.
The fourth one is an outdoor natural light casual snapshot. Wearing a white off-the-shoulder top and orange bottoms, holding a bottle of Fanta in hand, the moment of turning back sideways was captured, appearing relaxed and natural.
The fifth one is a Chinese-style styling. Dark green long hair paired with light green wide-sleeved Hanfu, holding a yellow butterfly-shaped round fan in hand. Framed inside a traditional architectural courtyard with red pillars and gray tiles, the action of the round fan half-covering the face can well showcase a classical and implicit feeling.
The sixth one was shot by the seaside. Pink twin tails paired with a white shirt and a reddish-brown plaid skirt, standing barefoot on the beach, sea breeze blowing the skirt hem, and the background of blue sky and clear water making the picture look very clear and translucent.
The seventh one is an orange twin-tails styling. A dark blue jacket with golden piping, and a huge pink bow on the chest. In the relatively dark indoor event venue, making a viewfinder gesture with both hands increased the sense of interaction with the lens.
The eighth one is a futuristic sci-fi combat style. A white-blue-black color-blocked combat suit featuring geometric hollow designs, paired with dark stockings and high-heeled boots. Lifting one leg and swinging a huge blue-and-white long sword, under the sunset backlight of the city street, the flowing feel of the long hair was perfectly frozen.
For these sets of styling, a lot of effort was put into everything from makeup and hair matching, prop making, to finding suitable shooting locations. Every makeup, styling, and shoot has been constantly trying new light, shadow, and compositions. I hope this independent anime convention tour at the Guangzhou CICF Expo can be successfully approved, so that I can meet everyone on-site then.
