[Ye Shunguang Cosplay] Convention photos from Zenless Zone Zero encountered at Western China International Expo City outdoor venue

At the outdoor venue of Western China International Expo City during the oioi convention, I was accidentally spotted by a photographer who captured this set of Ye Shunguang Convention photos.

The advantage of shooting outdoors is the natural light. The clean lines of the building facade at Western China International Expo City, along with the gray-blue stone walls and floor tiles, created a wonderful warm-and-cool contrast with the warm-toned outfit. For this shoot, we directly utilized the spacious outdoor area without complex background distractions, allowing visual focus to settle completely on the character.

The core of this outfit is the red-and-white color palette. The pure white off-shoulder ruffled crop top on the upper body, combined with the red-and-white neck ornaments, elegantly draws visual focus toward the shoulder and neck area. This cut makes the persona look remarkably crisp during outdoor convention shoots. The lower half features a bright red high-slit main skirt over a pink-to-white gradient underskirt; when walking or striking low-center-of-gravity poses, the skirt's layering is exceptionally distinct. To coordinate this outfit well, I put considerable thought into accessories: the wide brown-black leather belt at the waist, metal buckles, red pouch, and bow knot merge together to turn the waist into a great visual anchor, dispelling any monotony that large red-and-white color blocks might bring.

The details on the prop long sword really boost the overall look. Its blade is wide, featuring red lines and white diamond geometric patterns printed on a silver-gray surface, while the hilt has a black-and-yellow mecha-style structure. Held in hand, it serves not only as an extension of the character, but also as a framing element in composition. In the semi-seated posture of the second photo, holding the long sword horizontally with both hands allowed the blade to cross the frame, forming a clear visual leading line. Meanwhile, the low-center-of-gravity stretched pose in the first photo allowed the long red-and-white streamers to drape naturally over the stone tiles, which, assisted by the gentle outdoor breeze, captured the character's dynamic grace.

Post-production was another reason these photos turned out so striking. The photographer added pink petals and cool-toned light speckle VFX that perfectly matched the character's vibe. Rather than overshadowing the subject, these visual effects drifted naturally along my line of sight, giving the originally static Convention photos a visual impact that breaks through the fourth wall of reality.

Time was actually very tight during the shoot, snatching a few quick shots during convention breaks, which heavily tested both the photographer's snapshot abilities and the coser's quick state switching. Thankfully, the afternoon light was gentle enough; whether crouching on the ground seeking angles or standing up to capture moments when the wind blew, the entire process flowed with natural synergy. For a coser, being able to capture suitable light, shadow, and poses within a brief time frame to ultimately present finished photos brimming with the character's unique demeanor is in itself the most meaningful part of attending an anime convention.
