[Yixuan cosplay] A Day of Wrestling with the Black Bird Prop in the Studio Wearing This Patent Leather Jacket

This shoot was set in an industrial style photography studio, and the overall vibe perfectly fits Yixuan's crisp, cool, and sharp temperament. The jacket is made of glossy patent leather, and with the detached wide sleeve design, the entire shoulder line and arm movements are amplified once worn. Therefore, I paid extra attention to the drape of the cuffs when posing. The long white wig paired with the black hair accessory on the forehead forms a sharp visual contrast against the outfit's black base and white collar. The black bird prop that can spread its wings is the highlight of this shoot. Holding it in my hand not only adds depth to the frame but also allows my facial expressions to immerse more naturally. The benefit of a studio shoot is that the lighting can be self-controlled; the overhead top light hitting the leather surface creates a very premium reflective luster.

The shooting process was actually quite exhausting, especially having to wear high heels while striking poses like kneeling on one knee or extending a leg widely. I needed to engage my core to maintain my balance. However, the cooperation with the photographer on-site was very smooth, and we tried all kinds of angles. Poses like sitting on a black stand while lifting a shoe, or elongating the leg lines from a low angle, beautifully showcase the details of the metallic chains and badges on the costume.

Personally, I feel the most precious part of this photoset is maintaining that calm and restrained demeanor, without intentionally acting cute or making exaggerated facial expressions—just bringing out that sense of hidden sharpness characteristic of Yixuan from Zenless Zone Zero. When sorting through the photos at the end, I felt that this cool gray-toned studio style really matches this outfit perfectly. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'd love to shoot it again outdoors or in a place with a bit more light and shadow contrast for more Anime-style photography.
