[Momoka Haruka cosplay] Arknights's pink large bow dessert time

Shooting this Momoka Haruka cosplay from Arknights, the biggest project of the entire styling was the huge dark brown bow on top of my head and the pink-gradient Pink wig. Under natural light, the wig actually leans a bit orange, but under the studio's soft light, the shining color is a very translucent pink-orange. I deliberately trimmed the bangs to be quite wispy, slightly covering the eyebrows, paired with pink contact lenses, and dotted a tear mole under my left eye, so that the visual effect would be closer to the character's agility.

The costume's layering is quite rich. The collar of the white sleeveless top has ruffles, with a thin black satin ribbon bow tied in the middle. The red and black fabrics on the back are layered together, giving the overall silhouette a strong sense of structure once worn. To match this styling, I prepared some desserts as props. The cupcake and chocolate Swiss roll held in the photos were actually temporarily bought before our shoot. With props in hand, I didn't feel like my hands had nowhere to go during shooting, and my gaze naturally followed the food.

When communicating with photographer Mr. C, we mainly discussed how to make the frame clean yet interactive. Since the costume itself features three colors—red, black, and white—along with the pink hair, the colors are already quite saturated, so a pure white studio backdrop was chosen. The main light added a large softbox, and the side fill light was very strong, which could brighten the skin texture while preventing the velvet material of the large bow from appearing too dark in the frame.

During the shoot, I kept adjusting the gestures and angles of holding the desserts. For example, when holding the plate with both hands and extending it towards the lens, the body needs to lean forward slightly, shoulders relaxed, and chin slightly tucked. Even without showing the full body, this allows the lines of the shoulders and arms to showcase the character's approachability. The small brown watch worn on my wrist was actually temporarily added by myself, echoing the color of the large bow—considered a nice little detail.

In terms of makeup, the eyeshadow used warm pink tones, primed with a light shade and deepened at the outer corners with a dark shade, and the eyeliner was slightly elongated along the eye shape without being too exaggerated. The lips used a dewy-textured lip tint, with a coral pink shade matching the hair color in the same color system. For the foundation, I chose a product with good staying power; after all, the studio temperature is not low, and constantly holding the plate to make movements requires preventing facial oiliness from affecting the texture.

The atmospheric feel of the "Moon Walking on Water" theme truly tests the control over lighting and scenes. While shooting this set of pictures, I kept searching for that slightly lazy yet cute and gentle state. When blocking the face slightly with a dessert or smiling at the lens, the gaze shouldn't be too sharp, keeping it slightly spaced out. The waist-cinching design of this dress is quite prominent; when adjusting postures, I would straighten my back slightly to let the costume's cut show properly, while extending my arms forward to make the visual lines appear more natural.

After finishing this set of pictures, my biggest realization is that a pink wig is really hard to shoot under lighting and very easy to overexpose, so on-site I kept checking the raw photos with the photographer to adjust parameters. The large bow was also very easy to get crooked when turning around and needed frequent tidying. Judging from the final photos, the screen colors and character states both achieved the expected results, presenting an overall very comfortable sense of sweetness typical of a Dessert girl.
