1. Positioning: The model should stand next to a wild cherry tree, slightly sideways. The photographer should shoot from a slightly lower angle to keep the model and the tree in the same frame, highlighting the natural atmosphere.
2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the model on the right one-third of the frame with the blooming wild cherry tree filling the left side to balance the composition.
3. Lens Focal Length: It's recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to avoid distortion while emphasizing the subject and details.
4. Pose Interaction: The model should hold a straw hat naturally and turn their head slightly, adding a soft and storytelling element to the image.
5. Additional Tips: The wild cherry and iris flowers at the Zhengda Guangming Hall in the Old Summer Palace are in bloom in mid-April.
