Today's Hsin cosplay shoot specifically chose a pure white background in the studio, mainly to allow the details and colors of the outfit to fully stand out. The first impression upon receiving this costume from Wuthering Waves was that the materials used are extremely solid; the color stitching transition of red, black, and white is natural, and combined with golden metal accessories and embroidery, the overall texture is very well executed. After putting on the outfit, the focus shifted to adjusting the wig and headwear. The silver-white long hair needed to be combed very smoothly, and the pair of animal ears with black-gray tips on top of the head along with the golden branch-like hair accessories are the soul. When wearing them, the angles needed to be adjusted repeatedly to ensure a three-dimensional look from every angle. In terms of makeup, to fit the character's mysterious temperament, red contact lenses were worn, a large area of red eyeshadow was used for blending, red markings were dotted below the eye corners and on the forehead, and lip makeup was kept as light as possible, allowing the visual focus to concentrate on the eyes and the overall costume.

The shooting process was actually quite a test of physical strength. The first set of poses involved sitting on a wooden chair with crossed legs, holding a black folding fan. This posture looks lazy, but in order to maintain the drape of the skirt and the smoothness of the leg lines, the waist had to remain taut throughout. The high-slit design of the skirt hem required careful spreading when sitting down, allowing the red, white, and black fabrics to naturally scatter on the ground, while also ensuring that the gemstone decoration and bow on the chest were not blocked.

Later, I switched to a standing posture stepping on a small wooden stool; I felt this set had even stronger tension. Stepping firmly on the stool with one foot, extending the other leg backwards, and holding up a red feather fan in hand. This action required great balance, and to showcase the feeling of the skirt hem fluttering in the wind, I repeatedly adjusted arm height and body twisting angles. The red of the feather fan is very vibrant, forming a great echo with the red fabric on the costume. Because the overall styling is Barefoot, walking on the studio floor meant the tactile sensation of the soles would also affect the force points of the pose, requiring constant attention to whether the line of the instep looked good.

The on-site lighting used relatively even soft light, which could both brighten skin tone and prevent the black parts of the clothing from losing details. To keep the frame from looking monotonous, I added some hand gestures during the shoot, such as making gestures, to make the overall picture more lively. The wide sleeves of this costume were easily messed up when posing, requiring frequent adjustments to the wrinkles. After the entire shoot, I gained a deeper understanding of this costume's tailoring, and I also hope this set of photos can showcase the character's mystery and gorgeousness.
