The model stands next to the mailbox. During sunny shoots, the model can face away from the sun to capture hair highlights. The photographer should position themselves about 1.5 meters away from the model.

The model stands close to the red mailbox, and the photographer takes the shot slightly below eye level, maintaining a distance of about 1.5 meters. Ensure the background includes the full view of the green plants and the mailbox. Use a centered composition with the model in the middle, allowing the red mailbox and the green plant wall to create a strong color contrast, highlighting the subject.

Wear light-colored clothing for the best results as you stroll down Yangmeizhu Xiejie, where the scenery is very photogenic.

There are many pedestrians, so it is not recommended to use a telephoto lens.
