For our upcoming shoot in Guangzhou on August 29, our team is looking to recruit a female photographer. We are currently preparing to cosplay the Lemuen sisters from Arknights (Lemuen cosplay). We selected the illustration concept in P2 as our core visual reference, while P3 shows the studio we booked in advance at Da Hai Shen Studio. The wood slat backdrop and pool area at this studio are perfect for a light, summery aesthetic.
Looking at the preparations, both Lemuen and her sister have distinctive styling and makeup. The character I am portraying requires considerable prep for hair and accessories—especially the curls and texture of the wig. Small items like sunglasses, chokers, and belts also need repeated checks for placement and color accuracy to ensure the result looks both natural and recognizable on camera. To match the character's aura, I prefer a clean, translucent base makeup paired with orange-yellow eyeshadow to highlight vitality and energy rather than heavy stage makeup. There will also be distinct sisterly interactions—such as sharing ice cream or leaning together by the glass table—which will test the photographer's ability to capture candid moments.
In terms of schedule, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on August 29 is a prime two-hour window with relatively even lighting, so our shooting efficiency in the studio must be high. To make the best use of this time, I have already confirmed the lighting and power layout with Da Hai Shen Studio in advance and prepared props like clear dessert cups, colorful balls, and faux fruit models. An experienced photographer will know that in a studio with a pool, foreground reflections and wave caustics on the water's surface make for stunning visual elements, which greatly tests shutter timing and autofocus precision.
Regarding collaboration details, we hope the photographer excels at capturing eye contact and micro-expressions, as the characters' gazes and interactions in the original concept are very delicate—far beyond just standing and posing. Working with a female photographer allows for smoother communication, especially when guiding us into relaxed, effortless poses. I've also studied the lighting setup in the P2 concept art, aiming for a fresh, translucent, high-key style so we can pre-plan alternating between primary and secondary camera angles.
For the outfits, I test-fitted my set—a white top with a blue striped skirt and the halo prop. Although the halo slips easily, I've prepared a magnetic base to keep it securely in place. By contrast, my partner's pink-haired look involves more yellow and orange tones, and we will harmonize our overall color palette.
The core of this theme lies in portraying a lazy, intimate sisterly bond in summer rather than exaggerated action poses. Therefore, I may ask the photographer to shoot more medium-close-ups and close-ups, focusing attention on facial lighting and headpiece details. Some envisioned scenes include looking back while seated on blue striped chairs, close-ups feeding each other shaved ice with spoons, and incorporating surfboards and surf elements in the background, all of which can be achieved in the P3 studio.
We are specifically recruiting a female photographer to create a more relaxed and comfortable creative environment, especially for poses like resting chins on hands or leaning along the pool edge where a female photographer can more easily guide details. If any local female photographer in Guangzhou is interested and fits the schedule and requirements, I look forward to discussing ideas via DM to bring this Lemuen sisters photoshoot to life. Though time is brief, with great synergy, we can create wonderful summer memories.
