Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the circular opening of the pavilion frames the subject, highlighting the main figure. Additionally, a foreground composition is employed, with blooming lotus flowers and leaves in the foreground to add depth to the scene. For camera lens selection, it is recommended to use a medium to long telephoto lens to compress the space and tightly integrate elements such as the pavilion, the subject, and the lotus flowers and leaves into the frame, avoiding the distortion that can occur with a wide-angle lens. 1. Props: Bring small props like fans. 2. Travel Tips: ① Shooting Time: Choose a sunny day and shoot before 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM for softer light. ② Flowering Season: The lotus flowers bloom from June to September. 3. Dressing Suggestions: It's recommended to wear traditional Chinese costumes such as Hanfu or cheongsam, and pair them with traditional Chinese makeup. 4. Additional Tips: Avoid shooting at noon due to the intense heat and harsh light.
