For this iJoy Expo, I chose to debut with the look of Yuno from Wuthering Waves, fully recreating the character's aura in the exhibition hall. When putting together this gear, what impressed me the most was that pair of massive blue twin-tails and the golden laurel wreath woven through the hair. To give the hair strands more definition and layering, I prepped and styled the wig thoroughly beforehand, repeatedly adjusting the center of gravity while wearing it. The metallic components of the costume reflected wonderfully under the convention spotlights, especially the dark gemstone on the chest and the brass-gold collar, delivering a spot-on texture. Meanwhile, the bracers on the arms and the dramatic long pointed nails made it effortless to recreate those unique spell-casting gestures from the game. The design of the lower garment is also a major highlight of this styling: white printed fabric paired with bright blue ribbons, assembled together via metal fittings. The overall palette relies on a blue, white, and gold contrast, a color scheme that carries intense visual tension. To match the base tone of the outfit, I also put some thought into the footwear; high-heeled sandals combined with white laces wrapped crosswise around the calves echoed the overall fantasy style beautifully. The fine details on the hair accessories, such as the golden patterns on the rings and that ring of deep gemstones, are highlights of this cosplay that cannot be ignored. Holding that blue magic orb prop live at the convention, combined with the venue lighting, the captured colors turned out incredibly rich in layers. Moving between different light sources across the exhibition floor, keeping the makeup clean while enduring the heat on-site was a true test of both stamina and patience. However, seeing the resulting pictures made all the prior preparations feel entirely worth it.

Even though the convention venue was packed with people, once I slipped into this Yuno outfit, I felt myself snapping into character almost immediately. To make the headpiece and wig sit more securely, I put quite a bit of effort into using tapes and hairpins. Since the color temperatures of the on-site lights varied, I carried touch-up makeup tools to adjust anytime and keep my skin tone even. Regarding the styling, the neck piece was actually quite heavy, so I had to relax a bit during shooting breaks. During the session, the photographer wanted me to recreate some dynamic motions, so I intentionally adjusted my hand posture to let the details of the bracers and nails stand out in the camera lens. That blue sphere prop revealed beautiful layers under the harsh light, serving perfectly as a finishing touch. Being busy from morning until afternoon was indeed exhausting, but being able to walk around the exhibition hall in this outfit and chat with fellow fans brought me genuine joy. No overly exaggerated edits were made in post-processing; it mainly focused on restoring the original colors and metallic luster of the clothes, striving to present an authentic texture. This successful shoot adds a memorable page to my Coser daily life, highlighting the distinct charm of Anime-style photography.
