For this shoot, an indoor studio set themed around a full moon and Daoxiang Village was selected. The overarching staging positioned a massive glowing round moon as the visual centerpiece, flanked in the foreground by white cherry blossom branches, ornamental rockery stones, and wooden folding screens, alongside wooden flooring and steps to cultivate a tranquil Eastern classical ambiance. To harmonize with the scene, meticulous care was poured into the preparation of both costume and props.
Iuno's outfit centers around a blue-and-white palette; the top features a teardrop cutout design edged with blue-and-gold embroidery patterns, while beaded necklaces and metallic pendants across the chest heighten the dimensional detail. The voluminous, detached wide sleeves drape with graceful weight, accentuating the fluid extension of every movement. Regarding the headdress, symmetrical plush pom-poms, golden filigree floral ornaments, and elongated tassels on either side complement long, straight hair with a blue-and-white gradient, making the overall look extraordinarily eye-catching. The lower body coordinates a blue mini skirt with white lace frills, paired with white calf-length socks White stockings and black platform Mary Jane shoes—a combination that visually elongates lower-body proportions.
During shooting, to resonate with the character's temperament, the choreography leaned toward static poise and dignified grace. Sitting upon the steps required careful control over the drape of the skirt hem, ensuring the layered fabrics fanned out naturally rather than appearing messy. Reclining sideways on the wooden floor writing calligraphy with a brush was another particularly fulfilling series of shots; this pose not only showcased the garment's back details, but also highlighted leg lines through a low-angle perspective, where the crisp contrast between white socks and black leather shoes stood out strikingly against the warm-toned wooden boards. The pose raising a scroll overhead utilized the prop to inject lively visual agility into the frame. Studio lighting relied primarily on the background full moon to deliver rim backlighting that traced bodily silhouettes cleanly, while gentle frontal fill preserved the sharp clarity of both facial expressions and costume craftsmanship.
The entire shoot progressed smoothly, with seamless harmony between the practical set construction and the costume's chromatic palette. The blue-and-white tones appeared crisp and pristine against the warm yellow floorboards and white backdrop. Throughout the session, maintaining the character's composure—a serene yet subtly detached presence—demanded constant focus. While holding still poses for long periods proved tiring, seeing the final images achieve the anticipated interplay of light and shadow made every effort feel completely worthwhile.
