Place the subject in the center of the frame to achieve left-right or top-bottom symmetry, giving a sense of stability and balance. 1. Photography Pose: Let the person stand naturally among the rose bushes, with a slight tilt of the body, or interact with the flowers by side bending or waist bending, such as smelling the fragrance or gently touching the petals, to show an elegant posture.

Using side lighting can create contrast between the light and dark areas of the coreopsis petals, adding a sense of three-dimensionality and layering. 2.
