It is recommended to use a centered composition, placing the model slightly to the right of the center to highlight the subject. Include elements such as the bamboo forest and classical lattice windows in the background to enhance the classical atmosphere and depth of the scene. The model can maintain their current standing position, holding a fan in a natural and relaxed pose to add an elegant ambiance to the photo. The photographer should stand directly opposite the model, using a level shooting angle to keep the composition simple and elegant.

1. Props: Prepare some traditional props to enrich the scene, such as a round fan similar to the one in the picture, a set of Chinese tea ware, or a small bouquet of flowers.
