Shooting Tips: The model should stand in front of the backdrop, and the photographer should stand about two arm’s lengths away, using a 1x/wide-angle lens.
Shooting Time: 3-5 PM, when the light is better.
Camera Equipment: Fujifilm XE4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens.
Outfit Suggestions: The café has a natural and modern Chinese style, so simple and minimal outfits work well.
Posing Tips: If you have coffee or juice, you can hold it as a prop. If you’re unsure about posing, try looking down at the camera, looking up at the sky, or looking down at the ground.
