The photographer uses a high-angle shot with the model positioned at the center of the frame to highlight the subject. The background incorporates bamboo groves, rock formations, and green plants, while the foreground features bamboo on the left and rocks on the right to add depth to the environment. It is recommended to use a medium-telephoto lens to compress the background and blend the subject naturally with the surroundings.

Use a flat shooting angle and center the subject in the frame. The background should include water, rock formations, and greenery. Part of a column should be included on the left side as a foreground element to add depth.

It’s recommended to use a telephoto lens to blur the background and highlight the subject and the garden atmosphere. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free; ② Opening Hours: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM.

I recommend using a level shooting angle with the subject positioned on the right side of the frame. Employ a diagonal composition, with a curved branch extending from the lower left to the upper right to guide the viewer’s gaze. Include a thick branch in the foreground to add depth, and incorporate elements like ancient building windows, red lanterns, and eaves in the background to highlight the ambiance of the setting.

Using a centered composition, the model is placed in the middle of the frame, with the vertical lines of the bamboo forest in the background enhancing balance. The photographer shoots from a level angle, with the model’s elbow resting on a rock and their head gently leaning on their arm, creating a natural and relaxed pose. The frame includes the texture of the foreground rocks and the background bamboo forest. A telephoto lens is recommended to highlight the depth and layers of the natural environment.

Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, employing the unique door frame to naturally enclose the model, creating a focal point in the image. Position the model in the center of the frame. It is recommended to use a medium to telephoto lens to compress the distance between the background and the subject, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while blending harmoniously with the background elements, enhancing the overall quality of the photo. 1. Pose Suggestions: Stand sideways in front of the door frame, facing away from the lens and turning your head to look back, showcasing the graceful lines of your back and profile. 2. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free ② Best Time for Photos: To avoid crowds, visit around 5 PM when the light is also softer, ideal for photography. 3. Props: Consider bringing a bouquet of delicate pink flowers as a prop, which will complement the subject and the environment beautifully.
