It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to blur the background bamboo forest and flowing water, adding depth to the frame and making the model appear more slender while capturing the details of the background waterfall and stone patterns. Position the model on the right side of the frame, holding a folded fan and turning slightly, with natural movements to enhance the oriental charm and the story in the image. Choose a background that includes elements like a waterfall and a stone bridge to create a serene garden ambiance. Pay attention to soft lighting and avoid overexposure. 1. **Posing Tips:** - You can stand on the stone bridge or lean against the bamboo railing. Imagine yourself as a lady from old times, soften your gaze, and move gracefully to naturally convey a serene and tranquil demeanor. 2. **Props:** - Use an oil paper umbrella, or consider props like a round fan, a traditional book, or bamboo leaves. These props will make your movements more natural and add a stronger story element to the scene. 3. **Travel Tips:** - **Entrance Fee:** Admission to Zizhuyuan Park is free. - **Best Time to Shoot:** Early morning or late evening offers the softest light. The period from 3 to 5 PM is also good for sunlight and dappled tree shadows, while overcast days create a unique, hazy atmosphere. - **Visit Duration:** Weekends can be crowded; it’s best to visit on weekdays or early in the morning for a more peaceful and calm setting. 4. **Dress Suggestions:** - Choose simple and light-colored or classic floral patterned cheongsams to match the tranquil and serene ambiance of the bamboo forest. Pair with a clean and gentle updo or braid, light makeup, and pearl earrings.
