This set of photos was taken in an old-fashioned wooden Classroom scene. The warm yellow interior tones formed a striking contrast with the icy blue of the costume, making this environment ideal for evoking Cirno's distinct Touhou Project atmosphere. In terms of hair and makeup, to faithfully recreate the character, I chose a light blue gradient wig and carefully trimmed the bangs by hand to sculpt that subtly playful, tsundere expression. The elf ears were custom-crafted props that nicely accentuated her non-human traits, while the pair of semi-translucent ice crystal wings on my back was the highlight during shooting, requiring specific angles to reveal their crystalline clarity. During the shoot, we paid close attention to the layers of the skirt and the folds of the translucent fabric; to achieve the best result, we made slight adjustments to the lighting angles on set so that soft light grazed the white thigh-high socks, bringing out the delicate texture of the White stockings. Deciding on the poses took a lot of thought. Sitting on the desk with legs extended forward accentuated the leg length and the sleek lines of the socks, while the relaxed posture made the character feel much more spirited. The second shot, sitting cross-legged and pointing directly at the camera, highlighted her energetic, proud side. The wooden desks, the matching plushie placed nearby, and simple math equations written on the blackboard infused the frame with rich narrative depth. This kind of setting offers so much creative room; seeing the wardrobe and styling I prepared with care come to life before the camera as Anime-style photography brought immense fulfillment, while letting me truly appreciate the sheer cuteness of this character.
