Many people, when seeing this set of Goryō Nagusa photos, might first react to the cold, almost oppressive Atmosphere. After all, the tailoring and color scheme of this outfit truly restore the character's murderous aura of being "ready to draw the sword at any time." But in reality, she may be much gentler than she appears, a very delicate sweetheart. In planning this shoot, I have been committed to capturing this "contrast." To make the visual effects richer, I chose to conduct the Outdoor scene shooting in such a Japanese garden style courtyard. Using natural light on the white skirt and blue outer robe not only highlights the texture of the clothing but also increases the layering of light and shadow. In terms of makeup, I slightly strengthened the depth of the eyes to bring out the character's sense of detachment. Every shot is essentially searching for that balance point—it must have the sharpness expected of the character, as well as the softness hidden within her heart. Although this cosplay process took a lot of effort in prop tuning and composition, seeing this state of combining hardness and softness presented in the final photos gives a great sense of achievement.
