The photographer stands at a slight distance to the side and front of the model, shooting from a medium-low angle. Using a frame-within-a-frame technique, the architectural pillars and structures are utilized to highlight the model, with a medium-telephoto lens focusing on the subject’s movements. 1. Travel Tips: Tickets can be purchased on-site for $10 per person. 2. Other Tips: The best spots for portrait photography are inside the city gate, at the entrances of the two gates where light streams in, creating a spotlight effect. You can also use the background stairs for shots, which helps provide front lighting. The indoor lighting is relatively dim, so it’s recommended to bring a light.

Let the subjects move naturally near the city wall and cherry blossom trees, with the photographer shooting from the side or slightly behind. Place the subjects at the golden ratio position in the frame to highlight the main subject. Use the blossoming cherry branches as a foreground frame to accentuate the subjects. Shoot at eye level to capture the natural scene, or slightly from below to add grace and elegance to the subjects. Use a medium or telephoto lens to blur the background and focus on the subject's posture. If you want to show the overall environment of the city wall and cherry blossom trees, a wide-angle lens can capture more scenery, enriching the layers and ambiance of the photo. 1. Props: Bring a small stool to avoid crowds. 2. Travel Tips: The shooting date is March 13, ideal for spring flower photography.

The photographer positioned themselves at an angle slightly to the side and in front of the crabapple tree, using an upward shooting angle to make the crabapple flowers appear to extend upwards in the frame. The rule of thirds was employed, with the crabapple flowers occupying the lower two-thirds of the image and the city wall occupying the upper one-third. A medium telephoto lens was used to compress the space, emphasizing the layered relationship between the crabapple flowers and the city wall. Additional tips: Entry to the city wall is free, and there is a 1,500-meter-long flower corridor.
