[Elysia Cosplay] Korean collaboration photoshoot in the outdoor meadow and breeze

This shoot features Elysia's Korean collaboration styling. The overall makeup and styling revolve around the character's light and fantastical traits, featuring shoulder-length pink short hair with blunt bangs, while the face highlights the purple-blue pupils and iconic Elf ears props.

The costume is a black, white, and purple Vintage dress, topped with a white flat-topped hat decorated with a blue bow ribbon. The upper body is an off-the-shoulder white lantern sleeve set embellished with lace trim along the edges, layered with a black waist-cinching vest, featuring a cross-star bow tie at the neckline. The lower half is a white multi-layered long skirt paired with black and purple waist cinchers and ribbons, making the layering of the skirt hem quite distinct when walking.

To match the atmosphere of this costume, we chose an open body of water and meadow as our outdoor location. The weather that day was wonderful, with the blue sky and massive clouds providing an extremely clean background. Shooting under strong light has certain challenges, so we scheduled most of the shooting time around dusk. Utilizing the backlit angle of the sunset, it effectively outlined the character's silhouette, with the edges of the hair glowing with a natural golden light, making the overall image look soft and translucent.

In terms of props, we prepared a bouquet of flowers, a black umbrella, and a cup of milk tea. One photo of sitting on a roadside stone pier drinking milk tea was a spontaneous on-site candid shot, and the result turned out unexpectedly natural. Later, moving to the meadow and roadside while walking with a black umbrella, we needed to control the arc of the skirt being blown by the wind while ensuring the facial lighting wasn't completely blocked by the umbrella, walking back and forth many times before catching a relatively satisfactory dynamic moment.

After finishing this photo set, I realized that the head ornament was worn in the wrong direction. I want to apologize to everyone here and remind myself to check the details much more carefully when wearing complex cosplay costumes in the future. Although there was a small hiccup, the overall shooting process went very smoothly. Special thanks to our logistics helper Yu Wang for helping transport props and arranging the skirt on site, and also thanks to photographer Akari for the lens capture and post-processing, perfectly restoring the fresh outdoor colors and the character's texture. Going out for location shoots is quite physically demanding, but successfully producing this photo set has been a tremendously fulfilling experience.
