Large The surface of water is the key to dreams

It was a studio with beautiful home interiors featuring an empty fish tank. It felt like a Hong Kong movie, especially the atmosphere of Chungking Express. The goldfish-patterned fabric poster hanging opposite the tank looked truly beautiful when reflected in the water. While shooting in such a studio, I find myself wishing it were my home—a fleeting thought ; )

Hahaha, you read my mind. I've always wanted to create an art book someday! But honestly, editing, design, and layout are so challenging that even making postcards is tough. Still, I'm shooting with the grand goal of "someday!" in mind X3

@MintyCherry
Thank you! The purple lighting of the aquarium itself was beautiful, and seeing how the colors blended together in the reflected light when photographing subjects beyond the water made me want to use as many different shades as possible

@RabbidBunnies
The way water gathers and blends light and color, then scatters them, seems to have given me great inspiration. And the tropical plants and posters on one wall of that room. A good space makes for good photography ♡v♡

@quilleth
Thank you! Actually, the reflections in that fish tank and poster were pretty cool, so I spent half the time filming and half just admiring them, Haha.

@Arucane
Haha, this room's real strength was its vibrant color palette! While this post only features photos using the fish tank, overall it was a space where patterned designs on the curtains, bedding, and wallpaper really stood out. So when editing the photos, I applied different color tones to each element—it gave a neon sign-like feel that I quite liked. Thanks for enjoying it with me XD!

@saraquill
So I really started wanting an aquarium—it adds so much more to the shoot. Of course, for now, finding studios like this is probably the best option X°D Thank you!

 

@Arimioa
Haha, actually I have a lot of photos planned, each with a different concept! Stay tuned (though honestly, don't get your hopes up too high lol). Underwater scenes are beautiful, but the problem is that studios with tanks generally aren't cheap to rent. Someday I'd love to submerge the doll completely... but I'll save that for when I need to replace the body's rubber bands or change the makeup.

@Dedizenoflight
I really agonized over the editing this time, so I'm truly delighted you liked it X3

 

@Rosslyn
That’s the beauty of water! Thank you!

@Lupe540
I had a lot of fun taking that photo, too! Maybe because it was just an empty fishbowl filled with water, I could really see the contrast between the reflection in the water and the reality beyond it, as well as the sense of disconnection. Thank you for liking these photos~
