The model stands by the red wall, slightly to the right of the chair in the frame. The photographer shoots at eye level, using the rule of thirds. The lines of the red wall guide the viewer's gaze towards the model. The background includes green trees and sky, enhancing the color contrast. The model leans lightly against the wall, looking to the left with a natural and relaxed posture. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to highlight the integration of the subject with the environment.
