The convention photos for our Void Hunter duo have finally been sorted out, and today I'm sharing the finished shots of Hoshimi Miyabi and Ye Shunguang taken live at the venue. The photos feature both standing and kneeling compositions, perfectly showing off the outfit effects from different angles as well as how the props are held. As the cosplayer for Ye Shunguang Cosplay, collaborating with my partner was extremely seamless this time.
The texture of these costumes looked top-tier under the camera lens—though packing and putting them on beforehand took quite a bit of effort, the wearing effect was completely worth it. The off-the-shoulder outfit with red-and-white color blocking and corset-style waist design on the right, paired with a large fluffy beast tail, made it highly recognizable even in crowded convention halls; the buckle on the belt and accessory details on the straps were faithfully recreated. The red totem markings on the thigh were fully revealed in the kneeling composition. On the left, Hoshimi Miyabi cosplay featured the classic blue-white-black uniform, complete with a black pleated skirt, tights, and a giant pair of beast ears, commanding a powerful aura once standing still before the camera.
Talking about props, our prop set consisted of a long sword and a crossbody bag. The mechanical feel and color-split paintwork of the long sword rendered nicely under the flat lighting of the convention hall; the blade surface received anti-reflective treatment, and its weight distribution felt balanced when held. Although it had noticeable weight, paired with my partner's standing poses, our shooting efficiency was super high. The small bag on the other side featured a leather finish, serving as a stylish accessory when walking around. During the shoot, we tried several iterations for hand gestures and weapon interactions—such as holding the weapon vertically while standing, or resting the blade tip on the ground in a single-knee kneeling stance, establishing a great sense of visual stability.
The shooting environment was a standard indoor exhibition hall. The row lights evenly distributed across the ceiling were very flattering for facial illumination, so we didn't add complex external lighting during actual filming. Photographer Fusang mainly relied on the direction of ambient light to help us adjust standing angles. Although the background was blurred using a large aperture, the lively atmosphere of the convention floor could still be felt—crowds shuttling by and distant hall lights melted into the background, making these convention photos feel delightfully natural. Regarding pose design, the hand placement in photo one was more defensive and idle, while the crouching pose in photo two added casual charm; the skirt flared naturally, and the belt and strap details around the waist shifted form with the posture, putting the costume's shape recovery ability to a good test.
Posting this set is also to record the process of collaborating with my partner at this Zenless Zone Zero convention. From makeup styling and partner coordination to site scouting and official shooting, both early preparations and live execution were vital. Especially under heavy foot traffic, finding a camera position with a relatively clean background to capture satisfying compositions truly tested the photographer's coordination skills. In the final shots, the contrast between warm and cool colors in our outfits, along with the texture echoes between our respective weapons and accessories, maintained top-tier visual balance and compatibility. As a convention photo record of Zenless Zone Zero, I am thoroughly satisfied.
