1. Shooting Angle: The photographer positions themselves at a lower angle to shoot upwards, incorporating the model, cherry blossom branches, and the sky into the frame, highlighting the model’s posture and the abundance of cherry blossoms.
2. Composition Technique: A contrasting composition is used, with the blue sky and white cherry blossoms as the background to accentuate the model. The blossoms and the model’s flowing garments complement each other, enhancing the dynamism of the scene. The simple background further emphasizes the model as the focal point.
3. Lens Usage: A medium to long focal length lens (50-85mm) is used to compress the space, making the model and cherry blossoms appear more compact in the frame. The blurred background highlights the details of the model and the cherry blossoms.
