The photographer should slightly shoot from a low angle, standing at a 45-degree angle to the side of the model, using the rule of thirds to place the model on the right side of the frame. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a smartphone, with moderate blurring of the background to highlight the subject. Pose: The model should raise their right hand high and slightly turn their body to the side.

Use a low-angle shot, capturing from a low position looking upwards, to highlight the "Zangdian" plaque and the details of the eaves. Compose the foreground with hanging green leaves at the top of the frame to add depth, with the blue and gold plaque in the midground in clear focus, and include the eaves and a portion of the sky in the background. It is recommended to use a standard lens to ensure harmony between the foreground green leaves, the midground plaque, and the background eaves, creating a well-structured and layered image. Travel Tips: ① Ticket price: 20 yuan; ② Opening hours: 9:00-16:30.

1. Perspective: Shoot from an eye-level angle, with the photographer standing at a moderate distance from the model, possibly a bit further away to capture the vast sea of flowers and the model fully in the frame. 2. Framing: Use the foreground for framing, with a large number of flowers in the foreground creating a natural frame. This not only enhances the depth of the image but also guides the viewer's gaze to the model in the center, highlighting the subject. 3. Lens recommendation: It is suggested to use a medium telephoto lens. Medium telephoto lenses can compress space, making the flowers in the foreground and the trees in the background appear closer, creating a more lush visual effect of the sea of flowers.
