The photographer should shoot at eye level with the model, who is positioned under a flowering tree. The photographer should get close to the foreground flowers to create an effect of being enveloped by the blossoms. A framing composition is recommended, using the foreground flowers to naturally form a soft frame around the edges of the image, highlighting the main atmosphere. It is suggested to use a camera focal length of 50mm-85mm (or 2x-3x on a smartphone), blurring the foreground flowers to enhance the sense of depth.
