Photographers are advised to use a medium telephoto lens, positioning the model in the center of the frame. Use foreground composition, incorporating blooming branches and flowers to add depth. The background should capture red walls, yellow-tiled rooftops, and latticed windows. The model should hold a round fan, with one hand gently catching a petal and the other turning their head to smile and interact naturally, highlighting the ancient style and springtime atmosphere. Additional tips: Avoid crowds by traveling off-peak.
