Beijing Garden Expo Park - Ginkgo Avenue

The model leans against an intricately carved door frame, while the photographer shoots from a slightly elevated angle, maintaining a parallel perspective with the model. Utilizing the door frame to create a frame-within-a-frame composition, the model is seamlessly integrated with the carvings, highlighting the delicate beauty of Jiangnan gardens. A medium-to-long focal length lens is used to clearly capture the intricate details of the carvings and the lines of the model’s attire, adding depth and clarity to the image while harmoniously blending architectural and human elements.

1. Outfit Suggestions:
① Suitable for traditional Chinese costumes, new Chinese-style clothing, or cheongsams (qipaos). For a hanfu photoshoot, opt for elegant Song Dynasty-style designs; for cheongsams, choose simpler styles.
2. Additional Tips:
① The best seasons are summer and autumn, when lotus flowers are in bloom during summer and the surrounding vegetation is rich in color during autumn. Spring is also a good time for shooting.
② It is recommended to shoot from 4:00 PM until dusk, when the light is softer, there are fewer people around, and positions are more favorable.
