Use a centered composition with the model positioned in the middle of the frame. The photographer should shoot from a low angle to emphasize the layers between the subject and the golden leaves in the background. The model’s sleeves should be gently flowing, adding a natural and graceful movement to the scene. Include the surrounding yellow leaves and trees to create an autumn atmosphere. Styling suggestion: Wearing traditional Hanfu or other ancient-style clothing will blend well with the classical charm of the setting.
