As a senior, this "Delivery bunny girl" project took quite a lot of time, from determining the style and preparing outfits to executing the studio shoot. Our goal was clear: to fully faithfully recreate the character design in real-life photos—combining the playful cuteness of a bunny girl with functional techwear elements and a professional server feel.
In terms of outfit preparation, the black-and-white color-blocked high-cut patent leather bodysuit served as the visual core of the whole look. Under studio lighting, the patent leather material creates sharp shine and reflections, giving the photos a unique texture. However, it also demands a lot in terms of wearing comfort and range of motion. Fortunately, the tailored bodysuit left reasonable room for movement. The lower body was paired with black over-the-knee stockings, complemented by tactical-style straps and leg rings, creating a strong sense of layering that visually lengthened the leg lines. Our high-heeled ankle boots were also carefully selected, featuring cross and geometric patch designs on the heels, making them very stable when stepping around the studio.
The three of us represented three roles: the Senior, the Novice, and Aoi. In the photos, I played the short-black-haired senior, wearing a short black jacket paired with a blue bowtie; Mustard-chan in the middle sported pink twin-tails, whose red arm sleeves were eye-catching as the novice; while Angel XIV wore a bob cut, carrying a huge black square delivery bag with the "Over Eats" logo. This delivery bag was a crucial prop in our interactive framing—once worn, the delivery bunny girl atmosphere instantly came alive.
On the day of the shoot, the photographer Puppet put a lot of effort into the lighting setup. Achieving proper exposure for three models simultaneously against a pure white background, while managing diverse textures (patent leather, stockings, plastic bag), required precise control over reflector boards and light positions. We constantly adjusted our positioning and body angles in front of the mirror, ensuring a blend of overlapping and negative space, striving to show a relaxed and intimate collaborative state reminiscent of an everyday delivery scene.
The bunny ear outfit headpiece had some weight on top, and combined with the high-cut costume being quite revealing, maintaining peak energy in front of the camera consumed a lot of physical energy in the studio. But the best part of group cosplay shoots is looking out for one another—checking if sleeves are pulled up, if leg rings are slipping, or if hair is messy. That unspoken mutual understanding is truly precious.
In the pre-production phase, I repeatedly verified details from the design sheets, such as the position of the bowtie at the collar and the fit of the fingerless gloves, replicating them on real props as closely as possible. Bringing a 2D design into a real-life shoot is precisely where the joy of Cosplay lies. The biggest risk in themed shoots like this is a mismatch between outfit texture and character design, but luckily our costume and prop teams were well-prepared. Despite wearing bunny ears all day in a hot studio, seeing the final results through the viewfinder made all the tweaks and efforts worth it. This was not just a photo set, but a wonderful role-playing experience for the three of us.
