Using a centered composition, place the cluster of water lilies in the middle of the frame, surrounded by green lotus leaves to create a natural enclosing effect. The photographer should shoot from a level angle, keeping the camera parallel to the water surface to showcase the layers of the lotus leaves and the reflections in the water. The framing should include the tranquil water, lotus leaves, and the reflections of the water lilies to enhance the balance of the image.
Shooting Time: It is recommended to choose a sunny day when the light is good, making it easier to get great shots.

T sits under a low tree, his hand gently resting on the trunk, head bowed with a gentle smile, his posture naturally relaxed. The photographer shoots at eye level, using foreground composition to let the nearby leaves partially block the sunlight, creating natural light spots to add depth to the image. The framing includes the model, the tree trunk, and surrounding green leaves, with a blurred background to highlight the subject. A medium telephoto or 3x zoom on a phone is used to bring the model closer, compress the background, and intensify the green tones.

The model stands under the fringe tree, and the photographer positions themselves at a suitable distance, either directly in front or at an angle.

A medium focal length lens is used to clearly capture the model’s posture, clothing details, and the characteristic white flowers and green leaves of the fringe tree.

Travel Tip: It’s best to visit on a sunny day.
