Photography Tips
Photography Tips: The model should sit on the sofa while the photographer stands slightly above for an overhead shot. The shooting distance should be 2 to 3 meters. The composition should have the background lighting and the model each taking up about half of the frame (the lighting in the store is quite dim, so additional lighting is recommended. Note: Flash is not allowed in the store). Model’s Pose: The model should sit in the middle of the sofa, with one leg gently resting on the other. Pay attention to keeping the foot slightly pointed to elongate the line, and keep the knees relaxed and natural, not too high. The upper body should remain upright, with both hands placed on the sides for support. Face the camera directly. Check-in Guide: It's only about a five-minute walk from the metro exit, but the place is quite hidden and can be hard to find. Follow my directions! Shooting Time: Around 5:00 PM on June 22nd. Photography Equipment: Sony a6400.
