Photography Tips
The photographer should position themselves about 3 meters away from the model, using a level angle. The model can lean against a doorframe, and there's no need to leave too much space at the bottom of the frame. You can also use nearby plants as a foreground element, shooting from a distance. Pose suggestion: The model can wear modern Chinese, traditional Chinese, or even ancient Hanfu clothing, which would all be a good fit. Equipment suggestion: A smartphone can be used, but this photo was taken with a Sony A7M4. Shooting time suggestion: Early morning or late evening is best for soft, natural lighting.
