[Ryuge Kisaki cosplay] Blue Archive's Vintage Classroom

This shooting location was deliberately chosen as a classroom with a vintage, nostalgic feel to fit the character's setting. On the dark green chalkboard in the background, red geometric patterns were drawn, while old-fashioned wooden desks, a black vintage radio in the corner, and chess sets and globes placed on the desktops all helped wonderfully set off the campus ambiance through the lens, giving the photos a stronger sense of storytelling. In makeup and styling preparation, to make the overall look closer to the original work, the wig was intentionally trimmed with blunt bangs and styled into twin tails, paired with plush beast ear hair accessories on top of the head, and a bright blue bow pinned to one side. The eye makeup utilized grey-blue circle lenses paired with a slightly cool-toned eyeliner, highlighting Kisaki's temperament that carries a hint of detachment yet commands authority. The outfit matched a classic white shirt, a dark blue base with white striped tie, and a dark pleated short skirt. Considering the overall visual effect, the lower limbs opted for White stockings paired with black glossy loafers, which visually elongates the leg lines even better. In pose design, various postures were tried to showcase different facets of the character. Photo 1 features sitting at a school desk with hands crossed, primarily showing a composed yet lazy vibe; Photo 2 features leaning forward pointing towards the lens, aiming to have a direct gaze interaction with everyone in front of the screen, adding a bit of pressure and interactive feel; Photo 3 features a hands-on-hips standing posture that appears more confident and tsundere. Photo 5's composition of sitting on the desk edge with legs hanging naturally not only makes the posture look relaxed and stretched, but also completely showcases the uniform and leg lines. During the shoot, the classroom's lighting was relatively complex, and the photographer utilized rim backlighting to outline the character's contours, giving the overall frame a warm-toned tendency. The utilization of props was an important part of this shoot. Whether holding chess pieces in hand or placing them in the foreground blur, they enriched the frame's layering. The floating halo was synthesized in post-production to better fit the 2D fantasy style. Throughout the shooting process, maintaining the costume's smoothness and the wig's shape required continuous adjustments, especially for sitting and leaning against desks where skirt arc curvatures and sock tidiness had to be watched at all times. Cooperation with the photographer was seamless, finely tuning facial expressions before every shutter press to ensure the gaze accurately conveyed the character's emotions. Overall, this shoot in the classroom scene experimented with different compositions and perspectives. The combination of the vintage radio and wooden desks and chairs gave the entire frame both a campus freshness and a touch of aged storytelling. The gaze and posture of every single photo underwent repeated adjustments, solely to present the state most faithful to the setting.
