Photography Tips

The model is lying on a tree trunk, while the photographer stands on the slope beside it, capturing the scene with a wide-angle lens, ensuring the tree trunk takes up 2/3 of the frame for a more dramatic effect. 1. Equipment Settings: Sony + Sigma 18-50mm. 2. Posing Suggestions: ① Seated Pose: The model sits with her hands supporting herself behind her on the tree trunk, legs and skirt naturally hanging down. ② Lying Pose: The model lies with one leg extended forward and the other slightly behind, gazing lazily at the treetops, fingers gently touching her hair. 3. Outfit Recommendations: Wearing a backless or strapless dress, or any flowy dress, looks particularly beautiful when the skirt drapes down while sitting on the tree. 4. Additional Tips: ① If you're short on time, this location is not recommended as you may need to wait in line; prime shooting hours can have wait times of 1 hour or more. ② Always prioritize safety during the shoot. It’s recommended to wear white or light-colored long dresses with natural-style accessories to complement the fresh atmosphere of Erhai. Try to avoid peak hours and choose early morning or evening times for shooting; experiment with different angles, such as low-angle shots or wide shots, to highlight the unique beauty of the tree and Erhai. You can sit on the tree trunk, leaning to the side or lying back, to blend with the natural surroundings and Erhai; you can also stand on the tree trunk, holding onto a branch to display an elegant pose. Consider using small props like hats, flowers, or scarves to add depth to your photos. It’s best to visit on a sunny day or during sunset, as the soft light is ideal for shooting; be cautious of slippery tree trunks and wear non-slip shoes to ensure safety.
