Main photoshoot first look - Rosaria!

Hello my Sweethearts!

Today I’m here to share the first look of our main photoshoot - Rosaria.
When we first decided to choose this character among many others, the main criteria was to choose a straightforward, somewhat bold character. In looks and motives.
Examples may be, beautiful and cold. Petite and excentric. Almost like an archetype in anime/manga. And since this game is written like our beloved anime, there definitely should be a few such characters.

We choose Rosaria, because we love nuns with a certain level of insubordination in them. It makes them hot, makes them more believable and easier to channel for the model (the latter one is really important). Also it’s sexy. And more crucial to Dzikan photography. )

The thing that was the hardest part of this project is to find the right location for such character. I’m still not sure if we made the right choice. The city of Mondstadt (location in the game) is technically set in a medieval/renaissance setting. (I’m probably wrong in my assumptions, because of lack of knowledge in that field. I hope it won’t bother you too much). Which makes our search harder.
The Church of Favonius to which Rosaria belongs to is a classic fantasy holy place with tall columns, statues of the god, stained glass and rows of benches.
From my practice it’s almost impossible these days to find such location to use as the shooting set. But sometimes you can get a glimpse of it.
It was the exact case for the location we chose. From a certain angle, in a right light and composition, it may be pretty useful.

I also had one idea in mind. The music is always a part of many religious events/processes. And since we had piano on set, I was thinking it would be a good way to channel the nun side of Rosaria. Or at least give us a good shot. )

As for the "looks" of the project, we thought it would be good to stylize the project like wall painting. It gives Rosaria's journey a bit of old legends flavour. What do you think? Does it work that way?
Now when I'm looking at the image in lower resolution, the stylization might not be seen. But You'll be able to see it properly, when the project will be finished. )

After a month of not writing posts I caught myself thinking that I almost forgot how to do it. Or it’s just today I’m lacking an ability to write something proper.
If this post feels a bit odd or without certain “narrative”, you know the reason. )

Please have a great day! We’ll have a weekend soon, so I hope you’ll manage to rest well.
As always, stay healthy and happy!
