This set of Rem's angel-themed derived costume features pure white as the main tone. The ruffles at the neckline and the bow on the chest are details I really like. To support this lightweight feel, a lot of thought went into fabric selection—it has a certain stiffness yet good drape, so the pleats of the skirt can hold their shape. The sleeves were made into independent split sleeve covers with a circle of lace trimmed along the edge, paired with white mid-calf socks, which look much cleaner visually. For the wig, I chose a cool-toned light blue and trimmed the length of the bangs to make facial contours clearer. As for makeup, bright blue contact lenses are the soul, with a slight reddish blend at the outer corners of the eyes to add a bit of vitality; otherwise, in a purely cool-toned studio shoot, one could easily look pale and bloodless.
The pair of oversized feathered wings on my back is the visual focus and the biggest difficulty of this shoot. To spread out naturally in front of the lens, the frame of the wings needed to be strapped very closely to the body. When squatting, I also had to control my center of gravity to prevent the feathers from dragging on the ground or breaking. The halo on top of my head is a customized glowing prop; combined with the studio's cool lighting, the aperture effect presented in the camera is very transparent. The underlying bodysuit design also facilitated movement while posing. The lace sleeve covers and mid-calf socks on my hands and feet not only added layering to the styling but also served as important transition elements in the overall pure white color scheme.
This time we chose an all-blue solid-color background studio, with acrylic reflector panels on the ground. To capture the symmetry of the reflection, I maintained a semi-squatting posture throughout, gently touching the ground with my fingertips for balance. This action looks effortless, but it has quite high demands on core strength and balance, especially with the wings on my back—shifting the center of gravity even slightly would cause me to tilt. During the shoot, the photographer kept adjusting the lighting angle to ensure the three-dimensional sense of the wings and the glowing ring wouldn't blur. I also tried adjusting the lift angle of my chin many times to make the line of sight look more natural. The studio temperature on the day of the shoot was actually a bit low, so to maintain the best state in front of the lens, I would wrap myself in a thick coat during rest breaks and put it on immediately after each shot. This kind of reflective flooring has very high requirements for light; even a little stray light would ruin the overall transparency, so the coordination between the lighting equipment and the photographer was extremely important.
From the early costume preparation and prop debugging to the on-site light tuning and pose adjustments, every single link required meticulous attention to details to present the final clean image. The overall color tone turned out very uniform, with a cool blue environment paired with a large area of white, plus the reflection on the reflective floor, making the composition structure very stable. Although this angel styling has large props, the overall style is relatively light, and I am very satisfied with the displayed effect.
