[37 cosplay] Reverse: 1999, Chasing Light in Chongqing's Exposed Concrete Cylinder

Braving the 40-degree heat to wander around Chongqing, all just to find this perfect cylindrical exposed concrete architecture. When I first saw photos of this venue, 37's detached, cool, and ethereal temperament instantly flashed through my mind. That highly geometric space, combined with her flowing white veil and blue hair, is simply a match made in heaven. To scout the location, I forced myself to walk for hours under the blazing sun, drenched in sweat. I actually fell ill right after returning from the shoot, but the moment I saw the final photos, I felt it was all worth it. The original intention of this cosplay photoshoot was to capture the tranquility of being wrapped in light. During the actual shoot, we intentionally left a large amount of negative space, allowing the building's own curves and rough texture to contrast with the character. Unfortunately, there was a small error when calculating the angle of the daylight. We expected the light beam to strike vertically straight down at noon, but it deviated slightly and failed to form a perfect circular light spot, which is a minor regret. However, the sense of flowing light and shadow on site was still amazing, especially the last few shots standing against the top light, where the backlight dyed the edges of the hair strands and the hem of the clothes with warm colors. Stepping barefoot on the slightly cool concrete, feeling the oppression and shelter brought by the space, was truly an immersive experience. The photographer really understood the chilly and slightly divine tone I wanted, and the post-processing also preserved the original texture of the building and the transitions of light and shadow. I hope this work, created with persistence amidst the sweltering heat, can convey that unique sense of aloofness and purity belonging to 37.
