The photographer should shoot from a high vantage point using a wide-angle lens to capture the expansive beach, sea, and distant windmills. Use leading lines in the composition, with the lines formed by the waves guiding the viewer’s eye toward the windmills. Place the horizon at the 1/2 mark of the frame, leaving the top half of the image for the sky to add depth.

Outfit suggestion: Wear a solid-colored long dress, with black, white, or red being ideal for standout photos.

Use the stone steps and railing in front of the subject as a foreground to add depth and layers to the photo, naturally guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the subject and the distant sea view.

1. Poses:
① The model can try extending arms, turning sideways to appear relaxed and casual. Guide the model to gently raise an arm pointing at the scenery or move naturally to enhance interaction with the environment.
② The model can walk along the path toward the sea, with the breeze lifting the hem of the coat.
③ The model can walk away from the camera, looking back for a candid shot.

2. Travel Tips: It’s recommended to visit in the morning when the attraction is less crowded, making it easier to get good shots. In the afternoon, there are more tourists, which can make it difficult to take photos.

3. Outfit Suggestions:
① Solitary Traveler Style: Tan long trench coat (length to the lower calf) + black turtleneck + straight-leg suit pants + leather Martin boots + metal-framed sunglasses (held in hand during shooting).
② Fresh and Soothing Style (suitable for blue sky background): Cream-colored knitted dress + light blue denim jacket tied around the waist + straw tote + nude sandals + pearl hair clips.
③ Dark and Avant-Garde Style (good for overcast days): Irregularly cut black dress + leather wide belt + studded boots + silver layered necklaces.

4. Additional Tips:
① Located on the northern ring road, it’s more convenient to drive.
② At the very end, there is a large area of black reefs, which makes for great photos.
