I was at the Zhongshan AS30 convention for both days, bringing a total of three completely different styles of outfits. To make it easier for everyone to recognize me on-site, I'm sharing some previews of previous convention photos first.
The first set is a cyan-blue twintails styling, wearing cat-ear hair accessories on top of the head, a white shirt with a black cinched vest, and a blue plaid short skirt, holding a black trident prop in hand. This outfit is overall relatively lightweight, but the trident is quite heavy, and holding it for a long time makes the arms sore. I trimmed and styled the wig long in advance, and used many hairpin clips to maintain the fluffy feel of the twintails. Since I am not very good at striking combat poses, I basically just did a single-knee kneeling or flashed a V-sign to ensure the frame looks energetic.
The second set features silver-white long hair styling, paired with a black-and-white striped bow, wearing a white wide-sleeved top and black shorts, with the highlight being the matching pure white stockings and white high heels. Shooting this set while sitting on a folding ladder yields particularly great results. During shooting, I usually turn slightly sideways, using the skirt hem and the folding fan in my hand to partially cover, allowing the leg lines to extend naturally. Although the combination of white stockings and high heels looks great, walking around a convention for a day really tests physical strength. Medium-to-low angle shooting especially requires bringing a logistics friend along to help hold things and steady the ladder, otherwise it's hard to maintain the posture.
The third set is pink braided hair with deer antlers and beast ears, wearing a brown crop top and plush leg warmers, holding a staff decorated with blue crystals. This set leans towards a natural forest style, with poses featuring more stretching and guiding gestures to reveal the waistline.
Finally, there is a gorgeous red-and-white color-blocked dress, paired with black tights and red flower props. This outfit has many details; the straps and metal hardware take time to put on, and the mood during shooting needs to be calmer, with hand movements coordinating with the positions of the petals.
During these two days on-site, I will try to experiment with different lighting and shadows as much as possible, and the raw convention photos will ensure neither too dark nor too bright, making post-processing fine-tuning easier. If any photographers on-site want to find me for a mutual-free shoot, you can leave a comment in the comment section in the format of character plus date. I only portray female characters, with damselette cosplay or cute girl types being the most suitable, and other styles can be discussed, but combat-type characters are truly not accepted because I'm really not good at striking fighting poses. I hope everyone can capture satisfactory images at the convention.
