[Yangyang cosplay] Wuthering Waves Jiyu Kongming Shanghai Station Collaborative Pop-up Photoshoot

This time, I participated in the collaborative pop-up event between Wuthering Waves and GLOBAL WORK in Shanghai, portraying Yangyang's Xuanling look. The venue was arranged with an incredible atmosphere, and the bamboo and flying bird elements on the background board matched the tone of this outfit exceptionally well.

Let's talk about the details of this costume first: the black-and-blue main color scheme coupled with abundant feather element embellishments creates a strong sense of layering. The wig features a black-and-blue gradient, with the ahoge on top and the long red tassel hair ornament on the right acting as the soul of the look. When wearing contact lenses, I intentionally blended a touch of red at the outer corners of the eyes to get closer to the cold yet slightly fragile temperament of the original art. To support the sheer fabric of the sleeves and hem, I had to repeatedly adjust the position of the inner layers with hidden patterns when dressing. The metal accessories and blue feathers at the waist are relatively heavy, requiring secure fixing with hidden snaps, otherwise they would easily shift during movement.

For this shoot, I brought the Sony A7M5, paired with two lenses: the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II and the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II. The overhead lighting in the mall atrium is actually quite complex, so during the shoot, I tried to utilize the 70-200mm end to compress the background, or use the 24-70mm end up close for half-body close-ups to avoid cluttered top light sources. When shooting looking-back and hand-raising actions, the telephoto focal length nicely blurred out the crowds in the background, highlighting the feather textures of the costume. Huge thanks to photographer Masaka for the guidance; they were extremely professional in action direction and light-and-shadow control, and we found many angles around the exhibition booth to finally present this photo set.

Doing offline events in a mall, the biggest feeling is being able to face-to-face communicate with many friends who likewise love this work. Every time I tidy up the costume and stand in front of the booth, hearing everyone discuss the costume's material and makeup makes me feel that all the effort put into preparing the wig and accessories beforehand was entirely worth it. Although the booth space was limited, through different poses and framing angles, it was still possible to capture high-tension compositions. The exhibition display for this event was also very interesting, with giant posters and the overall environment making it easy to get immersed.

In my upcoming schedule, I will continue to take this equipment to different scenes for experimental shoots, and I hope everyone can feel the details of this design through the photos.
