The cherry blossoms in Xinghe Bay Park are in full bloom, offering a romantic scene perfect for photo shoots

💛Hello everyone, I am a Beijing photographer, Weipang Liuye 💛Many places in Beijing are already in the early cherry blossom season, but not all are suitable for portrait photography 💛For cherry blossom portrait photography in Beijing, I personally recommend Xinghe Bay Ecological Park as the first choice. Although there are fewer trees here than in Yuyuantan or other places, they are lush and concentrated, and the surrounding environment is also better than Yuyuantan. If you plan to shoot, you need to hurry 💛The lady wore a flowing long dress this time, with colors that closely match the flowers, which is very beneficial for highlighting her in a lawn environment. White and pink are probably the best colors, but of course, if the styling is right, pure black also works 📍For this location, since many compositions require a side view, I personally feel that the morning is a bit better. In the afternoon, the light may be blocked by surrounding buildings. The flowers are dense, and if it's a sunny day, you will need to have a means of supplementary lighting 📍When taking portraits here, the environmental composition is actually quite relaxed, but it might still be better to focus on using medium to long focal length lenses, for close-ups, you need a foreground to make the flowers appear more abundant, and you should choose different heights for the camera position 📍Just communicate well with the lady, normal movement POSE is fine. Be a bit more natural, a bit more relaxed 📍Because the light contrast in the photos is high, and cherry blossom photography generally requires overall significant color grading, so you must use RAW format. For post-processing, I continue to use filters that mimic the official ones from the Fujifilm brand 📍Personal opinion: Showing less of the ground might be more beautiful, after all, the northern spring is still a bit bare 📍Personal opinion: I prefer the travel photography style rather than just close-up shots of the face, which can't convey the beauty of the environment 📍Details not to be overlooked: The lawn is watered regularly, which may not be convenient for shooting, or it might be nice to shoot with an umbrella 📍Details not to be overlooked: There are also some cherry trees on the east side of the park, no need to just gather in the east corner 🔍Specific camera position coordinates: Xinghe Bay Ecological Park, Chaoyang District 📸Equipment: Sony A7M4 + 24-70GM + 85 1.4GM
