The shooting of Shenhe this time mainly revolves around the two core keywords of "melancholy" and "tranquility." As the Parvati of the snow mountain, the detached and cold texture of Shenhe is what I am very fascinated by. In makeup preparation, I paid special attention to the treatment of the eyes, trying to restore her deep look as if gazing into the distant void. The texture of the hair color is very agile under the light and shadow. I deliberately used the wind effect to make the white hair slightly messy, so as to increase the dynamic beauty visually and make the picture have more breath, avoiding appearing too stiff in static photos.

In the specific shooting process, to accurately restore the atmosphere of the "Melancholic Crane," I did a lot of practice on expression control. It is not just the micro-expressions of the face, even the center of gravity offset of the sitting posture and the lines of the shoulders must cooperate with the overall artistic conception. The use of lighting is also the key to the finished photos. We used side backlighting to emphasize the three-dimensional contour of the clothing edges, while ensuring the delicate transition of facial shadows, making the skin texture appear more transparent.

From the perspective of photographic composition logic, this work emphasizes the sense of space, trying to let the viewer feel the vastness and loneliness under the snow mountain at a glance. I am very happy that this time I was able to express Shenhe's cold yet soft temperament. The effect of every set of finished photos is very in line with my expectations, and it is also another deep practice of my recent makeup and styling ability.
