This time shooting the Traditional Chinese style cosplay styling of Hsin from Wuthering Waves, a lot of thought went into the material selection of the clothing. The black and red interwoven fabric needed to balance drape and glossiness; the golden metal accessories on the chest and waist were not lightweight, and to keep them maintaining a specific three-dimensional feel in front of the lens, the clothing lining was adjusted multiple times. That pair of huge white Animal ears on the head is the soul of the styling, and after adjusting the wearing angle many times, I finally found a balance point that was both stable and not abrupt. The silver-white wig was also deliberately trimmed with fragmented hair layers fitting the face shape.

In terms of makeup, to fit the setting, red contact lenses were used along with a large area of red blush smudged around the eyes. The red patterns on the back of the hands and finger joints were outlined piece by piece using special body paint cream; details often determine the completion degree of the overall styling. The nails were also painted red, which, combined with various hand movements, can form visual guidance in the frame.

The layout of the shooting site leaned toward a traditional Chinese style, with the warm light of the circular back screen, paper lanterns, and interspersed white flower branches setting a quiet tone for the entire space. Due to the Traditional Chinese style cosplay setting, I incorporated many lazy elements into the action design. The first set of actions involved lying sideways on a long couch; to make the leg lines more stretched, the core needed to maintain a slight tightening state all the time, and the instep of the foot was also deliberately pointed straight. Another set was sitting sideways while propping oneself up on the couch with one hand; this posture can well showcase the cutting details of the shoulders, neck, and neckline, while also facilitating the capture of some eye interactions. To make the frame more vibrant with a sense of daily life, we also utilized the wooden table to the side, using a white porcelain wine pot and wine cup as foreground props; the moment of resting a hand on the wine utensils or gently stroking the ribbon was often much more natural than rigid posing.

The red ribbons of this outfit are very long. When pressing the shutter, we would gently toss them up or shake them with the wind, letting them form a natural trajectory in mid-air. Because going barefoot directly onto the scene, the posture of the whole person actually became very relaxed. This set of pictures mainly aims to present a sense of daily life under oriental fantasy colors, without overly exaggerated tension, focusing instead on the intersection of clothing details and light-and-shadow atmosphere. From an overall visual perspective, the color matching of red, black, and gold is very prominent in the dark-toned background, perfectly matching the temperament of the setting.
