Shanghai Suzhou River Cherry Blossom Valley Station - Hydrangeas and Colonnade

The photographer stands beside the cherry blossom tree, adjusting the angle to place the cherry blossom branches at the left one-third of the frame, with the background building slightly to the right of the center. Shooting from a low angle highlights the layers of the cherry blossoms and the building. Using foreground composition with the cherry blossom branches adds depth to the image, while blurring the background building to create a dialogue between the subject and the background. 1.

The photographer is positioned slightly above the flowers, shooting from an overhead angle to fully capture the entire hydrangea bush and its harmonious pairing with the background architecture. The composition employs a foreground technique, using the lush hydrangeas as the foreground. Additionally, a framing technique is used, with tree branches forming a natural frame that guides the viewer’s eye to the flower cluster. The buildings and trees in the background add depth and balance to the composition, creating a layered and visually deep image. Photography Poses: ① The model stands above, and the photo is taken looking up. ② There is a manhole cover in the middle of the hydrangea flowers; sitting on it can create a sense of being surrounded by a sea of hydrangeas.

The photographer shoots from an overhead angle, nearly perpendicular to the ground, with the lens directly facing the center of the hydrangea field. A straw hat is placed at the right one-third of the frame, creating a visual focal point and adding depth to the composition. A standard lens is used to highlight the subject while maintaining a blurred background. Travel Tip: Choose a time with ample sunlight to enhance the color saturation of the hydrangeas and the straw hat, and avoid shadows that may obscure the main subject.

The photographer stands in front of the flowers and shoots at eye level. In terms of composition, the pink hydrangeas in the foreground occupy most of the lower part of the frame, creating a visual impact and highlighting the color and form of the flowers. The background building is blurred, forming a contrast between the sharp and blurred elements, guiding the viewer's gaze while also providing context and adding depth to the image. A medium focal length lens is used to clearly capture the details of the flowers while keeping the background buildings appropriately blurry, avoiding any distortion. Travel Tip: The best time for shooting is between 17:00 and 18:30.
