Zizhuyuan Park - Red Maples and White Architecture

The model stands at the center of a flower bed, with the photographer crouching slightly to shoot from a level angle. Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, incorporating branches and flowers in the foreground to create a natural frame. Shoot with a medium telephoto lens.

Outfit suggestion: A qipao is recommended.

Zizhuyuan Park - Sea of Callicarpa Blossoms

The model sits on a bench, facing the photographer, who stands at a proper distance directly in front of the model. Use a centered composition with the model as the focal point, and a lush flowering tree as the background to highlight the subject. Employ a medium focal length lens to clearly capture the model’s posture, clothing details, and the scenery of the flowering tree.

Travel Tip: It’s best to go and shoot after 9 AM, as the sunlight doesn’t reach the tree canopy before that time, which can reduce the atmospheric feel.

The model sits on the stone steps by the water, one hand gently resting on her forehead and the other holding a lotus leaf, which hangs naturally. She smiles and looks slightly upward, with a natural and graceful pose. The photographer shoots from an overhead angle, capturing the foreground lotus leaves, the mid-ground model, and the background stone bridge and fields of lotus flowers, enhancing the depth of the scene. The model is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, using the rule of thirds to balance the subject with the environment.

1. Outfit Recommendation: A light-colored dress is recommended, as it is versatile and photogenic.
2. Additional Tips: The weather can be quite hot with strong UV rays, so be sure to apply sunscreen and use insect repellent.

The main subject is the painted eaves and red brackets of the building, positioned in the center of the frame, with a clear blue sky in the background to create a color contrast.

Shooting Time: It is recommended to choose a sunny day with good light conditions for the best results.

The composition follows the rule of thirds, placing the model in the lower left third of the frame.

1. Equipment: Fujifilm XT5.
2. Park Information: The park is open from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with the last entry at 9:00 PM.
