The model sits on the ground with her back to the camera. The photographer lowers the camera angle and steps back slightly to capture the model and the blooming tree from a low vantage point, emphasizing the reach of the branches. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with the model and lantern placed in the bottom third of the frame, while the branches dominate the upper portion, creating contrast and depth. A 35mm lens is used to highlight both the branches and the model while maintaining an appropriate sense of the surroundings.

Additional tips: Use the warm light from the lantern in contrast with the cool light of the flowers to enhance the mood of the scene. Be sure to reduce the exposure to avoid overexposure, which can impact the details.
