● Try to choose a sunny day, as good lighting is beneficial for photography, and taking photos during the morning or evening glow is easier to produce good results.
● Choose side lighting or side backlighting to easily capture the crystal-clear feeling of the petals.
● It's best to have blue sky or green plants in the background to highlight the color of the flowers.
● When composing, if there are branches, try to choose a diagonal composition; when photographing a single flower, you can try placing it on the golden section point (draw a "井" grid on the image, and you will get 4 intersection points, which are the golden section points. Place the key point of expression on one of the four intersection points).
● When posing with wintersweet, try to wear clothes with high color contrast, such as red or pink. When posing with plum blossoms, you can choose white or light yellow dresses for an excellent effect.
