The model stands in front of a red wall, and the photographer shoots at eye level to enhance the effect of the model blending with the shadows on the wall. The left side of the frame is left open for tree shadows to form a natural foreground. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or the 2x zoom on a phone to highlight the subject and compress the background, avoiding excessive environmental distractions.
