The model is sitting on the steps of a staircase, facing away from the camera, with her legs stretched out and her hair cascading naturally. The pose is relaxed. The composition is centered, with the model positioned in the middle of the frame. The diagonal lines formed by the staircase guide the viewer’s eye. The shot is taken from a level angle, at the same height as the model. We recommend using a medium to long focal length to compress the background, highlighting the subject and the lines of the staircase.
