Choosing to shoot this Vivian cosplay set in a white studio was mainly to restore the character's own color gradations and garment tailoring details to the greatest extent. The pure white background has no cluttered color interference, which places extremely high demands on the craftsmanship of the costume, the cleanliness of the makeup, and the styling of the hair. The makeup artist specially shaped the wig so that the light purple long wavy curls have volume without looking bulky, and the dark blue bow hair accessory on top of the head serves as the finishing touch.
In terms of outfit coordination, we chose this style featuring black and white as the primary palette, accented with dark blue elements. The white high-collar blouse on the upper body has rich ruffled cuff details, paired with a matching dark blue bow at the collar, creating a look that is both retro and ceremonial yet playful. The middle section features a black leather-textured wide corset, which not only cinches the waist but also adds a dark tactical vibe through metal buckles. What attracts me most is the asymmetrical spliced design of the hem, where white and black fabrics overlap irregularly, and the distressed fringe edges add a touch of agility and liveliness to the character.
In this shoot, special attention was paid to the presentation of leg lines. The Black tights outfit was paired with platform high-heeled ankle boots featuring strappy bows. This combination visually elongates the body proportions and makes the overall look crisper. The combination of long pointed elf ears and light-colored cosmetic contacts, paired with reddish eye makeup with a subtle blood-toned blend, perfectly outlines the character's aloof and mysterious aura. The nails were also specially painted pure black to echo the long-handled polearm in hand.
We also put a lot of thought into the props for this shoot. Several stacks of hardcover books were piled on the floor, alongside a vintage telephone, coffee cup, photo frame, leather briefcase, and even a red apple. Combined with the polearm in hand, a fictional scene full of narrative depth was built against the pure white background. During the shoot, guided by photographer Qiu Su, I tried elegant poses with crossed hands, handsome standing poses leaning on the weapon with one hand, and dynamic action shots with arms extended. The lighting of the White studio photography was very transparent, beautifully showcasing the spliced layers of black, white, blue, and purple on the clothing as well as the reflective texture of the leather. This look not only fits the character's setting, but also offers great inspiration for everyday styling concepts—the combination of a Black tights outfit with platform heels alongside color-blocked outfits always delivers stunning photo results. Vivian's setting inherently carries elegance and mystery, and we captured these qualities as much as possible during the shoot, with the clean white studio background bringing these visual elements into sharp focus. I hope these finished photos allow everyone to intuitively feel the exquisite nature of this costume design and our dedicated effort in styling.
