Have the subject stand naturally in the field, and position yourself to shoot from the side or slightly in front of them. Place the subject at the center of the frame or follow the rule of thirds to highlight them. Use the vast green fields and distant mountains as the background to naturally complement the subject. Shoot from an eye-level angle to create a close and peaceful atmosphere; a slightly upward angle can add a fresh, airy feel to the subject. Use a medium to long telephoto lens to blur the background and focus on the subject's expression and the bouquet in their hands. If you want to capture a wider view of the landscape, a wide-angle lens can include more scenery, enriching the layers and atmosphere of the image.

Additional tips: We shot in the morning, but shooting in the afternoon might be better.

I have a field by Erhai Lake - wheat wave photo together.

The model stands between two flower beds, and the photographer is positioned on the left side of the pathway. When composing the shot, include the Erhai Lake in the background, paying attention to the balance of the mountains, lake, and flowers. Make sure the horizon doesn’t cut through the model’s neck. The model can strike elegant poses or interact with the flowers. Wearing a dress will create a more garden-like atmosphere.

I have a field in Erhai - a wheat field.

The model is sitting on the swing, and the photographer is standing on the platform. Make sure to frame the composition so that it includes the sky, the mountain, and the wheat field within the circular arched trellis. Both the front and back views of the model can be photographed. It’s challenging to capture good poses and expressions when the swing is in motion, so take a few posed shots in a stationary position before attempting dynamic shots.

The model stands frontally, and the photographer shoots at eye level, with the lens aligned with the model’s chest to create an intimate feel. The composition is centered, with the subject slightly to the right of the center, and the background features a contrast between wheat fields and the night sky, highlighting the model’s silhouette. Using a 75mm lens on a camera or 3x zoom on a phone, the shot emphasizes the layers between the subject and the background. A directional flash is used to highlight the details of the model and the wheat, while also reducing the interference from the dark background.

3. Other Tips:
① Remember to apply sunscreen, as the sun in Dali is very strong.
② Bring mosquito repellent, as there are many small insects in the wheat fields.
③ When taking photos, be careful not to step on the wheat to protect the farmland.

I have a piece of land in Erhai with a white door frame.

The photographer stands inside the car, by the window, shooting outward at eye level. Use the window as a frame to compose the shot, with wheat fields and distant mountains in the background to highlight the depth and layers of the image.

3. Lens Recommendation: Use a 50mm focal length lens.

I have a piece of farmland by Erhai Lake - sitting on a stool taking a photo with the wheat field.

The model should stand in the middle of the rice field (preferably in a relatively dense area), while the photographer stands on the same level as the model, facing them from about 1 meter away (it’s recommended to go in the afternoon to capture the golden waves of the wheat; in the morning, the sunlight doesn’t reach the area and the photos may appear grey).

Style suggestion: A countryside look pairs well with the golden waves. Opt for soft tones like light beige, ivory, and light apricot, which will create a warm contrast with the golden hues of the wheat field.
