The photographer shoots at eye level, matching the subject's standing posture, naturally presenting the spatial relationship between the person, the flower branches, the bamboo woven decorations, and the background environment.

A medium focal length lens is used to finely detail the texture of the subject's clothing and hair accessories, while also preserving the soft beauty of the natural background.
