The backdrop of this shooting location features stunning mountains and valleys, so the model needs to sit/stand on the rocks while the photographer shoots directly at the model. It's fine to go alone; you can use a tripod placed right in front to take the shot, as the terrain is very flat.

Travel tips: It's recommended to go in the late afternoon around 4 or 5 PM on a sunny day for better lighting.
