When shooting this set of Changli swimsuit photos, it happened to coincide with the golden hour light on the beach, shooting from afternoon until the twilight deepened. The tulle and streamers of the costume caught the wind heavily in the sea breeze. To capture natural dynamics, the photographer @Yunlong was almost chasing the waves on the sandy beach. The poses referenced the styling of @WangTiechui, stretching the body while sitting on the white sand. The golden ornaments on the ankles and the layers of the pink wig stood out exceptionally well under the backlight. The shooting process was actually quite physically demanding; the wind and sand on the beach were very strong, making the wig and gauze skirt easily messy, requiring continuous adjustments of angles and center of gravity. But seeing that gentle yet cool temperament in the final photos made all the hard work feel worth it. This time, I specially chose a semi-transparent tulle fabric paired with a white-and-pink gradient, hoping to recreate that lightweight and relaxed feeling of the character vacationing by the sea. The makeup was toned down to fit the translucent feel under the sunlight as much as possible. When the setting sun dipped to the sea level, we captured a few very satisfying semi-backlit shots. The light dyed the hair strands a warm orange, maxing out the sense of atmosphere. The entire set of swimsuit photos had no excessive post-processing or touch-ups, relying mainly on the cooperation of natural light and props. As a coser, every time I try a swimsuit or lightweight styling, I pay more attention to body posture and the relaxation of facial expressions. The character Changli itself possesses a detached elegance, so I couldn't smile too broadly; the gaze and the curvature of the corners of the mouth had to be just right. Thanks for the cooperation on-site, and thanks to the photographer for capturing the moments I wanted for this Anime-style photography session.
