The model should stand in the middle of the rice field (preferably in a relatively dense area), while the photographer stands on the same level as the model, facing them from about 1 meter away (it’s recommended to go in the afternoon to capture the golden waves of the wheat; in the morning, the sunlight doesn’t reach the area and the photos may appear grey).

Style suggestion: A countryside look pairs well with the golden waves. Opt for soft tones like light beige, ivory, and light apricot, which will create a warm contrast with the golden hues of the wheat field.
