The photographer stands on a spiral staircase, choosing a top-down angle. The model is positioned under a cherry blossom tree, using a frame-within-a-frame composition with the branches and flowers naturally surrounding the model. It is recommended to use a 35mm lens for this shot. Leave more of the cherry blossom branches at the top of the frame and choose a simple grassy background to avoid distracting elements. Travel Tip: Shoot before 9:00 AM or after 4:00 PM for soft lighting. Backlighting creates a beautiful translucency in the petals.
