Putting on all the components of the outfit, paired with the light-gold wig and blue colored contacts, the overall aura changed immediately. These are convention photos of Sandrone, focusing on restoring the styling details of this 7th of the Fatui Harbingers from Genshin Impact. I didn't waste the 'clockwork' and made sure to organize every detail of the makeup and hair before shooting; presenting authentic texture is the core pursuit of this session.

Looking at the clothing itself, the main color palette is deep navy and pure white, accented by red linings, making the color scheme restrained yet layered. The upper body features an off-the-shoulder design added with a high-neck choker. A striking ruby is inlaid in the center of the choker with golden piping around it, immediately focusing the visual center on the neck and chest. The cuffs are wide bell-shaped sleeves; the outer layer is dark, while the inner lining is a light beige. The folds of the folding and flipping must be pressed completely to present the stiff texture of a mechanical doll. The skirt structure is quite complex: the outer dark fabric is covered with red gemstone patterns with golden borders, while the inner layer is a white wavy skirt with golden piping. The overall structure is highly intricate.

In terms of accessories, the white lace headpiece stands up like a crown, connecting to a black bow at the back, adding a touch of solemnity without obstructing the view. This time I used a blue-and-gold ring-shaped staff with rigid lines, inlaid with blue gemstones in the center and sides. It has a strong pointing capability when held, and paired with the right posture, it showcases the character's aura well. Below are white tights paired with dark high heels; the shoe surface features cross-straps and golden piping, a design that elongates leg lines and is highly effective in full-body shots.

Next, let's talk about the shooting process. This was shot in the studio area at the convention; the ambient light was quite mixed, but the photographer used top-lighting and side-backlighting for suppression to maintain a dark background, making the subject stand out more. Photo 1 chose a side-glance pose; the look back at the lens combined with the top light outlined a rim light on the edge of the costume, emphasizing the headpiece and off-the-shoulder design. Photo 2 is a panoramic composition sitting on an aluminum folding ladder; this action is best suited for showing the full body styling and the staff prop. I slightly lifted one hand to pose elegantly, with the white tights and high heels forming clear reflections on the smooth floor; the environmental light perfectly restored the costume's color scheme. Photo 3 is a close-up overhead shot, with the body slightly leaning forward and reaching out to the lens, creating an illusion of invitation or interaction. The background tripod and grey wall highlight the realism of convention shooting and also show the cleanliness of the details.

Regarding the character herself, the description 'The unknown is but a mist to be blown away, and knowledge is the cornerstone of the world' is a sentiment I strongly identify with. When playing Sandrone, one cannot just stop at the surface; one needs to demonstrate that cold, rational, and intensely curious core. Because she is a 'puppet,' I intentionally adjusted the strength of my eyes and hand movements to make the posture look more restrained, without revealing redundant emotions, which perfectly aligns with her positioning as a 'Clockwork Princess.' To keep the stiff fabric from looking monotonous during the shoot, I re-adjusted the sleeves and smoothed the wavy edges of the skirt for every pose, ensuring that every time the shutter clicked, the mechanical beauty of clockwork and gears could be fully conveyed.

Finally, as a set of convention photos, although it lacks the perfect lighting adjustment of a professional studio, it possesses a sense of authentic presence. From the costume to the headpiece, staff, and white tights/high heels, every component was chosen to restore the character setting. I hope that through this set of photos, everyone can feel the unique texture of Sandrone as a character.
