[Tobiichi Origami cosplay] Swimsuit Photo Shoot Record in the Equipment Room

This shoot mainly revolved around the classic dark blue one-piece swimsuit. When I first received this costume, the first thing I noticed was the reflectivity of the fabric. To present that smooth and skin-fitting texture in front of the lens, I deliberately did some anti-exposure and edge-adjustment treatments before shooting. Dark blue is actually a big test for lighting; to prevent the frame from looking dull, I had the photographer add a soft white light source on the side, which could outline the body lines very well while preserving the original dark tone of the swimsuit. The white lines at the neckline and the ruffles on the sides are great details, as they visually increase the sense of layering. Regarding accessories, the pair of fluffy animal ears on the head and the tail behind are the soul of the entire styling. To make the tail swing more naturally, I added a soft skeleton inside, so that when doing some turning or knee-bending movements, the arc of the tail would be more vivid. The wig is a pure white short style, with trimmed blunt bangs and sideburns styled to hug the face, plus those two parallel blue hairpins, creating the overall 2D anime atmosphere. In terms of makeup, the focus was placed on the eyes, using blue contact lenses paired with earthy-toned eyeshadow, slightly lengthening the outer corners of the eyes, combined with the droopy-eye makeup technique to make the gaze look more translucent and better fit the character's settings. The shooting venue chosen this time was a place resembling a school equipment room. Inside, there were many red-and-white hurdles, wooden desks, and scattered volleyballs, which were great props to use. When shooting the kneeling pose, to maintain the upright posture of the body, my core muscles were tense the whole time, and kneeling on the ground actually hurt quite a bit, but for the sake of a good picture, I had to grit my teeth and persist. At the same time, hand movements needed careful design—they had to be natural without blocking the costume's details. For the shot sitting inside the metal frame, the space was relatively limited, and the placement of the legs required repeated adjustments, trying several angles before finding a posture that could showcase leg lines without looking cramped. The metal pipes in the foreground served as the framing for the composition, enhancing the depth of field and making the subject stand out more. Shooting this kind of swimsuit with athletic elements requires presenting a relaxed and natural state above all. Through interaction with props like volleyballs and cleaning signboards, I let my body relax to avoid stiff movements. In terms of gaze, I deliberately restrained my emotions, maintaining a slight sense of detachment to better fit the overall cool and aloof temperament. To make the frame more tense, I also tried using the lines of the metal frame to guide the line of sight. The entire shooting process consumed quite a bit of physical strength, but the moment I saw the final photos, all the efforts paid off.
