Photography Tips
The model is sitting on a bench, slightly turned towards the photographer. The photographer is about 3 meters away, using a level shot with the camera positioned slightly lower, at the model’s waist level, to enhance a natural feel. The rule of thirds is applied, placing the model on the left one-third of the frame, while using trees on the right side to balance the composition. It is recommended to use an 85mm lens on a camera or the 2.5x zoom on a phone to compress the space, making the background trees appear more compact and emphasizing the model as the main subject. 1. Equipment: Sony A7M4. 2. Pose: Sitting on a bench reading a newspaper or a book. 3. Timing: Morning or evening is best for shooting, when the light is soft. 4. Outfit Suggestion: French vintage style.
