Use a centered composition with the subject in the middle of the frame; the photographer should shoot from a slightly higher angle to elongate the figure, using a telephoto lens to blur the background and highlight the subject. Incorporate hanging willow branches in the foreground to add depth. Travel Tip: It is recommended to go on a sunny day.
