Photography Tips: Have the model face the photographer directly, with the photographer positioned about 5 meters away from the model. Due to the overhead lighting, it's best to have a reflector on hand.

Posing Suggestions:
The model can sit comfortably in the middle of the set, with legs naturally crossed or extended, and the back slightly reclined to convey a sense of leisure. If sitting next to the set, face sideways towards it, with one hand naturally resting on the set and the other hand casually placed, ensuring a relaxed posture.

Check-in Strategy: Choose a time with suitable lighting, such as before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., as the soft light can add texture to the photos and avoid harsh shadows caused by strong light. Modern minimalist clothing is more compatible.
