The model stands facing the lake, with the photographer positioned slightly behind and above the model to capture the soft backlighting, allowing the forsythia branches in the foreground to naturally frame the model, adding depth to the image. It is recommended to use a camera with an 85mm lens or a smartphone’s 3x zoom to blur the background and highlight the subject while retaining the ambiance of the surroundings. Pose Suggestions: ① Reading with Head Down: Sit by the lake, holding a book and reading intently, occasionally looking up towards the distance. ② Head Tilted Back with Face Partially Covered: Tilt your head back and use the book to gently cover part of your face, eyes closed. ③ Reading on a Bench: Sit on a bench, holding a book and looking into the distance, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. ④ Eyes Closed and Smiling: Hold your hat with one hand and close your eyes with a smile. ⑤ Book in the Foreground: Use flowers as the foreground, focusing the lens on the book being read to create a literarily fresh and clean atmosphere. ⑥ Flowers in the Hat: Place flowers in your hat.
