The photographer positions themselves at a diagonal angle in front of the subject, creating a well-proportioned spatial relationship between the person, the tree, and the building. Using the rule of thirds, the frame is divided roughly into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The tree occupies the left vertical third of the frame, the building serves as a stable background, and the person is positioned near the lower third line, ensuring a balanced distribution of elements. Additionally, the branches of the tree create leading lines that guide the viewer’s eye towards the subject and the building. A wide-angle lens is recommended for this setup.
