The model stands under the tree, while the photographer squats a little further away to shoot at eye level, capturing the entire canopy and grass in the frame. Using the rule of thirds, position the canopy, grass, and model in the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the composition to enhance the sense of depth. Employ a 50mm lens or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to avoid excessive background compression, highlighting the natural integration of the subject with the environment. Photography equipment: Canon R6II, lens 70-300.
