The photographer takes a low-angle shot with a slight upward tilt, capturing the model standing on rocks by the lakeside, with arms naturally extended forward to highlight the pose's tension and elongate the leg proportions. The composition is centered, with the model positioned slightly above the center of the frame, using the lake and distant buildings as the background to add depth. A 50mm camera lens or the 2x zoom on a smartphone is recommended to use a medium focal length that emphasizes the subject while avoiding excessive background compression.

1. Pose: Stand on the rocks by the lakeside with arms naturally extended forward.
2. Timing: The best time for shooting is from late March to mid-April when the flowers are in full bloom.
3. Outfit Suggestions: For a fresh, Japanese style, choose light-colored dresses or JK uniforms; for a traditional Hanfu style, select Hanfu that complements the cherry blossom tones.
