The model stands next to the incense burner, positioned in the center of the frame. The photographer shoots at eye level, using a centered composition to highlight the subject and the atmospheric mist. The foreground includes the incense burner on the left, while the background retains elements of the courtyard, such as trees, a red umbrella, and architectural features. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or the 2x zoom on a phone to capture the moment the smoke is dispersing. Side-backlighting can enhance the layers of the smoke, and it’s advisable to slightly reduce the exposure compensation to avoid overexposure.
