The model is sitting on a stone under a tree, while the photographer stands on the opposite side of the lake. The background includes peach blossom trees and traditional Chinese architecture, while the foreground captures the lake's surface and the model's reflection. It is recommended to use an 85mm lens for a camera or the 3x zoom on a smartphone to highlight the natural layers between the subject and the background.

1. Equipment: Fuji XE4, 18-50mm f2.8 lens.
2. Pose Suggestions: The model can look directly at the camera or gaze at the sky; a profile shot is also great and model-friendly.
3. Timing: It’s best to shoot around 5 PM when the sunlight is softer.
4. Outfit Suggestions: A simple, light-colored outfit works well.
