Tifa Lockhart Cosplay — Osaka Street Shoot, Photo 10

The closing frame of the Osaka set, back at the black Shinsekai street arch, with Tifa Lockhart leaning forward with both hands on her knees and looking straight into the camera. It is the most direct address in the ten photographs.

The forward lean lowers the head into the middle of the frame and pushes the arch and the street into the upper third, reversing the arrangement of the opening photograph taken at the same spot. Bookending a location set this way gives the sequence a shape rather than leaving it a collection of separate frames.

The costume is unchanged throughout — white cropped tank, suspenders, black pleated skirt, long gloves with the red and black gauntlet, black thigh-high socks and long dark hair — photographed in overcast daylight from the first frame to the last.
