Using a centered composition, the person is placed along the central axis of the frame, complemented by symmetrical background elements (the greenery on both sides of the large tree), which creates a balanced and stable image, highlighting the subject and enhancing the visual impact and sense of order. Additional tips: It's best to come on a sunny day and remember to apply sunscreen.
