Photography Poses:

1. The model raises one leg while dramatically spreading both arms, embodying a relaxed and uninhibited pose as if embracing the mountains and forests. This conveys excitement and a strong sense of interaction with nature, showcasing vitality and passion for the environment.

2. The model naturally extends both arms, slightly tilts the head back, adopting a quieter and softer stance, as if feeling the tranquility of the mountains and forests. This creates an atmosphere of integration and immersive enjoyment with nature, conveying a sense of relaxation and contentment.

Check-in Tips:

The golden hours are from 7 to 9 AM when a thin mist lingers in the mountains and forests, and sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a dappled effect with a natural hazy filter. From 5 to 7 PM, the warm glow of the setting sun bathes the forests in a golden hue, making for exceptional backlit portraits where even the hair seems to glow.

Photography Strategy:

Position yourself in the middle or at the end of the stone steps, with the camera aligned along the direction of the steps and pointing upwards. This technique draws the viewer's focus to the person and simultaneously captures the depth and winding nature of the path, embodying the essence of "a secluded path leading to a quiet place."

Jinyun Mountain – Forest Staircase

1. Positioning Perspective: The model stands in the middle of the walkway, while the photographer stands slightly lower, taking a frontal flat shot with the camera tilted slightly upward to emphasize the lush green background and the model's movements.

2. Composition Method: Employ a leading line composition, with the curved lines of the walkway guiding the viewer's gaze deeper into the image, and place the model in the center-right of the frame using the rule of thirds.

3. Lens Focal Length: Use a 50mm lens to compress the sense of space and highlight the subject and background layers.

1. Travel Tips: The ticket price is 12 yuan.

2. Additional Experiences: There is a parking lot at the Sanhua Stone Visitor Center, which is about 7 kilometers from the entrance of the scenic area and about 4 kilometers from Dai Lake. During holidays, it is required to make a reservation to enter the mountain from the Sanhua Stone entrance, and cars can be driven all the way to the entrance of the scenic area, but parking at the entrance is not convenient.

Use a centered composition with the wooden sign at the center of the frame to highlight the warning text. Shoot from a flat angle to ensure the text is clearly horizontal. Include the main body of the sign and the bamboo forest background in the shot to enhance the environmental atmosphere.

1. The model spreads their arms wide and strides upward as if embracing the entire mountain city! This captures the fervor of "rushing to Chongqing," echoing with greenery and old architecture, exuding an overflow of vitality! 🌿

2. Seated, the model lightly raises their arm, looks up at the architecture, and effortlessly transitions into an "immersive experience" mode. From "rushing" to "listening," the change in posture tells a wandering story, adding a sense of progression to the scene, and filling the atmosphere with a vivid sense of place. ✨

Check-in Tips:
Choose a sunny morning (9 - 11 AM) when sunlight dapples through the leaves, adding a natural filter to the image; on cloudy days, use the soft light to capture a mystical, forest-like ambiance, avoiding harsh midday light that could overexpose the subject's face!

Photography Strategy:
Use the greenery on both sides of the stone steps as a natural frame, centering the person and the "Chongqing" wall, highlighting the depth of the scene; shoot from below the stone steps, allowing the "Chongqing" wall to dominate the upper half of the frame, with the person stretching below, reinforcing the feeling of insignificance and blending with the mountain city forest.

2. Dressing advice: Avoid wearing shoes with heels.
3. Additional suggestions: There are many hot springs in the old village.

The photographer is positioned at a higher spot behind the ancient village street, capturing the scene from an aerial perspective. The cobblestone road serves as the main guiding line in the frame, with the figure's white attire creating a stark contrast against the surrounding dark green vegetation and quaint red brick buildings. The greenery and architecture on both sides of the street seem to envelop the central cobblestone path and the figure. It is recommended to use a medium-telephoto lens.

Outfit suggestion: A light-colored dress is recommended.

Jingangbei Ancient Village – Old Street

1. The model sits quietly on the steps of the small Western-style building, legs together, hands gently resting on knees, with a straight back. This posture fits the artistic and tranquil atmosphere of the ancient building, as if listening to the stories of the building's years, blending into the scene with a composed posture, conveying a sense of "slow time in the ancient village."

2. The model sits sideways on the steps, one arm stretched up pointing to the "Small Western-style Building" sign, body slightly leaning, and eyes following the fingertips, actively interacting with the check-in location. By using the "pointing" action, the connection with the building is strengthened, adding a lively sense of "discovering a treasure corner" to the image, breaking the static dullness.

Check-in tips:
Come in spring or summer when the ivy is lush, and green vines cover the walls, making the image more vibrant; in the morning or evening, the light is soft, suitable for portrait photography!

Photography tips:
Stand below the steps of the small Western-style building and shoot an upward angle of "people + the entire building" to highlight the ancient architecture and the layered greenery surrounding it; or use the windows of the building as a frame, with the person standing by the window, and let the greenery outside the window serve as the background to create a cinematic image.
