This set of Honor of Kings Wang Zhaojun convention photos was taken at the comic convention site. To catch the opening of the convention, I got up at 6 AM to do makeup and put on the wig. The wig is aquamarine long straight hair. To achieve a natural and smooth effect, I sprayed anti-frizz care solution the night before. The gem crown on top of the head was fixed to the hair bun with seven or eight bobby pins to ensure it wouldn't slide down while running around all day. In terms of makeup, the blush was intentionally weakened, and cool-toned blue eyeshadow was used to deepen the eye socket, which, combined with contact lenses, visually matched the ice and snow style theme better.

The details of the costume require a lot of effort. The white sleeveless top and the silver diamond-shaped decoration on the chest need to be worn close to the body. The plush shoulder guards and sleeves draped outside have a thick texture, but walking around in the convention hall didn't feel stuffy. What actually requires the most care is the lower body matching. The skirt features a high-slit design, worn with one-piece tights transitioning from pure white to dark blue underneath. This gradient tights are particularly prone to snags. While changing costumes backstage and queuing to enter, I walked holding my breath and didn't even dare to sit down, fearing I might scratch a hole in the stockings. The blue chunky-heeled strap shoes on my feet have very high heels, and the straps left marks on the instep, but because they echoed the color of the gradient tights on the legs, the leg-elongating effect during photos was exceptionally good.

The prop in hand—the blue shovel-shaped staff—is actually quite heavy. To restore the holding posture, my left hand had to keep holding it suspended, finding the right force point, otherwise my wrists would ache and tremble after a long shoot. My right hand was spread upward, making a summoning gesture for the ice and snow style. The lighting at the convention site was relatively chaotic. The photographer brought a fill light. To capture the atmospheric feel of snowflakes falling around, we used a high-power flash in a relatively open area to dim the chaotic background light, allowing the cool white light to shine directly on the character. The glowing snowflake effects added later gave the frame more of a winter atmosphere.

During the shoot, to highlight the costume's tailoring and leg lines, the photographer asked me to push my center of gravity backward and stand with crossed legs. This posture can display the high-slit skirt hem and gradient stockings cosplay very well, while the long cloak on the right naturally extended backward, elongating the overall proportions. Because the post description mentioned that you and the snow share something in common, I deliberately adjusted my facial expressions during the shoot, keeping my chin slightly tucked and my gaze revealing a hint of aloofness, trying to avoid big smiles to prevent breaking the overall cold visual effect. Many friends ask how to get good results for convention photos. In fact, preliminary preparation and on-site cooperation are both very important: the holding angle of props, costume arrangement, communication of lighting direction, and fine-tuning of body posture—every single item needs to be quickly confirmed with the photographer before shooting. This set of pictures went very smoothly from location selection to final output, and I've organized them to share with everyone.
