1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should position themselves slightly higher, shooting from an eye-level to slightly downward angle.

The model squats in front of a tulip field, with the photographer shooting from a slightly low angle to enhance the sense of depth in the image and highlight the layers between the model and the flower field. The composition is centered, with the model positioned in the middle of the frame. The red and yellow tulips in the background create a natural color gradient, emphasizing the subject. Using a 75mm lens on a camera or a 3x telephoto on a phone, the background space is compressed, making the flower field appear more dense and vibrant.

Pose suggestion: The model should slightly turn her head or smile to add a sense of liveliness to the image and avoid looking too stiff.
