1. Use cherry blossom branches as a foreground to create a blurred frame. Hold the railing or branch with both hands and take a side-profile shot to make the contour lines more prominent. 2. Choose a cherry blossom branch about 50 cm long as the foreground, with the tip of the branch close to the bottom edge of the photo, but not cutting it off. This will create a blurred effect, highlighting the main subject. 3. **Touching the neckline**: Gently press the center of the bow tie with the second joint of your right index finger, and let your left hand hang naturally with the palm facing backward. Make sure the cherry blossom branch doesn't block your face. 4. **Looking back**: When turning your head, shift your weight backward and let the front foot's toes touch the ground to elongate your figure. Leave about 50 cm of the scarf to hang freely when wrapping it. 5. **Capturing movement**: Use the burst mode to capture the moment when the hair is most beautifully flowing. Turn your eyes to the nine o'clock direction, showing more of the white part of your eyes for a more ethereal look. 6. Other tips: It's highly recommended to take photos on a sunny day for the best results.
