Photography Tips
Photography Tips: - The photographer should stand about 1.5 meters away from the model and use the rule of thirds for a level shot. Include lotus leaves, lotus flowers, the lake surface, and the pavilion in the background in the frame. Leave some sky at the top of the image. - Pose: The model should stand on a rock (be cautious as it can be dangerous) and hold onto the nearby street lamp pole for balance. Keep the other arm relaxed by your side, tilt your head slightly, and smile while relaxing your shoulders. - Location: Taoranting Park, Beijing.
