This set of photos was completed in a classroom set design. To restore Marin Kitagawa's styling, I prepared for a long time in advance. The wig is that very classic gradient color, with a golden-orange top transitioning to bright pink at the ends, and sideburns on both sides to flatter the face shape. The huge white lace bow on top of the head is one of the key focuses of the entire styling; once worn, the character's liveliness immediately comes out.
In terms of costume matching, I chose a black V-neck knitted cardigan, paired with a white shirt inside, and tied a very exaggerated large white bow at the neckline. The lower body is a plaid pleated skirt mixed with red, black, and pink. To match the overall style, I wore white loose socks and black platform leather shoes. In addition, a white leg ring with heart-shaped and star-moon metal decorations was added, adding some sense of detail to the whole outfit.
In terms of makeup, the eye makeup was drawn relatively heavy this time. To get closer to the character's Anime cosplay feel, I wore false eyelashes, drew obvious eyeliner, and chose red-toned options that look radiant for blush and lip makeup. The base makeup was applied quite white, presenting a relatively flawless texture in front of the lens.
The shooting scene was chosen in a studio arranged as a classroom. The background features white curtains, desks with wooden tabletops, and gray iron storage cabinets. There is also a digital clock placed on the tabletop, showing exactly 22:13, which is quite an interesting detail. In terms of lighting, the main light is very soft, and some cool-toned light filters through from the background curtains, forming a cool-and-warm contrast with the indoor warm light.
During the shoot, I tried several different poses. When sitting on the desk, you can cross your legs or extend one leg toward the lens, which can better showcase the lines of the shoes and legs. Sometimes I would rest my chin in my hands and lie on the desk, or make a simple V-sign. In the photo of sitting cross-legged on the desk, the whole person is curled up, the skirt hem spreads out naturally, and with the leg ring and socks, the overall composition appears quite tense. There is also the posture of leaning against the chair, tilting the body slightly, using hands to tidy up the hair, trying to make myself look natural and relaxed while maintaining the character's confident and slightly sexy atmosphere.
The entire shooting process went very smoothly, and the photographer kept adjusting the camera position to find the best angle. Because the elements of the classroom scene are relatively rich, there are quite a few details in the frame. Judging from the final photos, the light and shadow, composition, and the character's state all met expectations. After organizing the photos upon finishing, I felt that all the preparation work and efforts during the shoot were well worth it. I really like this set of pictures myself, integrating the character's characteristics and my own understanding of this styling into it.
