[Gokou Ruri Cosplay] Gothic Kuroneko under the light and shadow of the white studio, enjoying every moment of the shutter

Today's Gokou Ruri Cosplay private photoshoot has finally been successfully completed. Because I really like the character Kuroneko in Oreimo, I put a lot of thought into the clothing, makeup, and styling.
For the wig, I chose dark purple long straight hair with very flat blunt bangs. The purple rose hair accessories on both sides of the top of the head were reinforced with hot glue after buying them to ensure they wouldn't wobble during shooting. The makeup focused on the tear mole under the eye and blush. To restore that yandere yet slightly tsundere doll-like feel, the lip color was chosen as a pinkish matte texture, which, combined with the strong light of the white studio, made the skin tone look very translucent.
The clothing details are really quite complex, with a black main body paired with white lace trims. The large white lapel at the neckline and the white pleats on the chest need to be ironed flat in advance, otherwise they will look messy in front of the lens. The large flared ruffles at the cuffs and the purple satin ribbon bows add a lot of layers to the overall look. The purple lace trim and cross decorations on the skirt hem are the soul, and the white pleated trim at the very bottom also needs to be carefully arranged. When sitting down, they are very easy to pile up together, requiring constant adjustments to the styling.
The shooting was completed in a pure white studio. The advantage of the white studio is that the light is clean, which can maximize the texture of the clothing, but it also has higher requirements for movements, because there are no scene props to borrow strength from. When sitting on the ground, I deliberately adjusted my leg posture, wearing gray pantyhose and stretching my legs forward, which can elongate the visual proportions. Taking off the Mary Jane shoes and stepping on the ground barefoot wearing stockings instead added a lazy, private feeling. For the kneeling look-back shot, in order to showcase the multi-layered ruffles on the back of the skirt, I needed to arch my lower back down while keeping my back straight, with a slightly cold gaze when turning back. As for the two standing posture pictures, one with a single leg raised is to showcase the full view of the shoes, stockings, and skirt, and the other with the index finger against the chin aims to express Kuroneko's thoughtful yet slightly playful expression.
During the shooting process, the lighting engineer adopted a primary light plus auxiliary light setup. After lighting up the white background, the character's contour was very clear. Because the clothing is a black-and-white color scheme, it is easy to overexpose, so both the camera shutter and aperture had to be repeatedly adjusted. Although it was difficult, seeing the final photos made me feel that everything was completely worth it. This set of photos is not only a tribute to the character, but also an exercise in my own camera expressiveness.
