[Uesugi Erii cosplay] Red and white Japanese style memories in Dragon Raja 3: Black Moon Tide

Shooting this set of Uesugi Erii photos, the focus was to create that slightly lonely yet cool Japanese style atmosphere. The improved red and white kimono paired with orange-red long hair is very eye-catching in the dim Japanese room setting with high color saturation. The hair accessories adopted the iconic hair ties and bows, with complete detailed matching. During the shoot, I prepared a red paper umbrella and a black scabbard as main props, and specifically pursued a sense of layering combining motion and stillness in the action design. When holding the umbrella, I used the wind to move the wide sleeves, creating an elegant movement trajectory at the edge of the white gauze, while the red skeleton of the paper umbrella had a prominent texture under the transmitted light. For the close-up of the black scabbard, I adjusted the angle of my gaze, letting the eyes convey the character's personality through the light and shadow reflected by the blade. The on-site lighting used lanterns as ambient light sources, combined with top lighting to darken the surrounding environment, enhancing the dramatic tension of the picture. Shooting this kind of ancient style look actually tests the neatness of the makeup and clothing; for example, whether the hair blocks the vision or if the sleeves are messy, all need to be sorted out quickly before and after each shutter. Because I was wearing traditional wooden clogs, I also needed to stabilize my center of gravity when standing and turning. During the entire shooting process, the photographer and I had a great tacit understanding, and everything from long-range composition to close-up shots went smoothly. The final photos fit the "ethereal" artistic conception very well, allowing my understanding of Erii to be conveyed through the screen.
