The model is seated on a bench by the lake, and the photographer is taking a frontal shot, keeping the camera slightly below the model’s eye level to highlight the layers of cherry blossoms and the lake in the background. Use the rule of thirds for composition, placing the model in the lower third of the frame, with cherry blossom branches naturally extending to the upper right corner, enhancing the balance and aesthetics of the image. It is recommended to use an 85mm lens or the 2x zoom on a phone to compress the background, emphasizing the subject and cherry blossom details. 1. Post-processing: Suggest lowering the contrast, increasing the shadows and black levels, decreasing the color temperature, and increasing the hue while reducing the saturation. 2. Travel Tips: The entrance fee is 60 RMB. 3. Outfit Suggestions: In previous years, light colors were commonly worn. This year, trying a lake blue sweater as an accent turned out to be very photogenic. If you're tired of light colors, it might be worth giving it a try.
