Samus Aran Cosplay — Zero Suit Neon Studio, Photo 5

Down on one knee with the other leg forward, Samus Aran holds the blaster upright beside her head and rests her free hand on her thigh. Her head is tilted back and turned aside, eyes lifted past the edge of the frame. A slightly low camera gives the kneeling figure height instead of shrinking it.

Behind her, a wall of small square reflectors lit red throws back red and white highlights, and the pale floor picks up the same red. Against it the glossy blue bodysuit looks sharper and cooler. Here the suit is cut with ragged openings at the chest, waist and knees, and the blue gloves end in heavy gray-and-yellow cuffs with a glowing pink-and-white emblem on the back of the hand. The black-and-gray blaster carries pink light inserts.
