I am extremely happy to meet everyone as Seed at this Zenless Zone Zero festival (zzz fes). This white techwear outfit combined with blue braids brings a very different experience every time I cosplay the character. To present Seed's high-tech yet vibrant puppy-like qualities, I specially asked @蜂蜜糖水铺📷 to help with the shoot.
This set of photos focuses on a sense of movement and liveliness. Instead of posing in a studio, we found a hallway with an amazing sense of space as the background. The head photographer's action shot skills are truly outstanding, completely capturing the exact moment I jumped and was airborne. Especially that shot of me suspended in the air (the cover photo), it was actually the result of me repeatedly jumping in place to be captured. For that stretched-out grace at that moment, my core strength had to be tightened at all times, while my body had to maintain a relaxed, naturally fluttering posture.
In fact, shooting these airborne action photos takes a toll on physical strength. Plus, the lower half of Seed's costume features a stirrup pants design, so I decided to go barefoot. This not only reflects the character's casual freedom but also allows me to land more stably. Although the floor tiles were a bit cold, the presented result is truly worth it. The skirt hem and the yellow lines at the waist naturally lift up when jumping, which, paired with the overall pure white main color palette, forms a sharp visual contrast in the empty grey-and-white hallway, instantly bringing out the tech-futuristic vibe to its maximum.
Besides the big movements, I also really like the final backward-glance close-up, where you can see some details of the makeup and the character's expression. Seed's character possesses a pure sense of joy and power. Through this set of photos, I hope to convey the playful and agile yet slightly research-oriented traits of this setting to everyone. During the photo shoot, I truly want to thank the photographer for constantly guiding my movement details, such as the angle of my arms stretching out, the force point of my toes, etc. These precise micro-adjustments are extremely important for ultimately presenting a lightweight sense of mid-air suspension.
This convention photo experience at zzz fes was incredibly happy. Being able to do my best for character accuracy is the best interpretation of passion.
