This time, my partner and I shot a Lycoris Recoil Chisato Nishikigi cosplay and Inoue Takina cosplay photoshoot. From custom-made clothing to wig trimming, preparation took about a month. Chisato's short golden hair has a red hair accessory tied to the side, and Takina's long black straight hair is paired with blunt bangs. The red and dark blue circle lenses for both were also specially chosen to restore that clear yet slightly sharp gaze in front of the lens.

The first scene is the classroom. We wore our respective red and dark blue school uniform cosplay outfits, sitting on wooden desks. This school uniform has many details; the bow tie, belt, and pleats of the pleated skirt all need to be carefully ironed. In front of the blackboard and beside the podium, we took back-to-back and reading poses, with a brown vintage schoolbag used as a prop to enhance the academic feel. Then we moved to the lockers, crouching down while holding volleyballs. Because the skirt hem is relatively short, special attention had to be paid to the posture when crouching to avoid wardrobe malfunctions while maintaining the character's energetic athletic state.

The second set is the flower sea and swing scene. In the artificial turf and pink cherry blossom setup, the light is relatively soft. We sat side-by-side on the grass or lay on the lawn looking into each other's eyes. The atmosphere here shifted from the previous liveliness to quietness, with black stockings and grey pleated skirts intersecting on the grass, creating a strong visual layering. To prevent wardrobe malfunctions, I specially wore black safety shorts, paired with black over-the-knee socks and leather shoes, unifying the overall color tone. The interaction on the swing was also quite natural, with one person sitting on the wooden board and the other standing behind; the warm background lighting hitting the hair created a great texture.

The third set is the dark iron chain scene. The lighting in this scene is mainly based on red and blue contrast, bringing a repressive and bound atmosphere. Thick metal iron chains were wrapped around our necks, with both hands tightly gripping the chains. This school uniform cosplay outfit looked completely different under this lighting, and the black stockings appeared more form-fitting in the dark light. Because the chains were heavy, we needed to maintain a stern expression while keeping body balance during the shoot, which was a test of both physical strength and concentration.

The entire shooting process was very fulfilling. Coordination between the two people's movements was very important, especially posing in a narrow space, which required constant angle adjustments. Being able to try so many different scenes and atmospheres was a deeply satisfying experience.
