  • Light interactions with the environment: touching flowers, resting on a garden bench, leaning on a railing.
  • Motion-focused: twirling dresses, breeze catching fabric.

Composition Notes

  • Detail shots: fabrics, jewelry, soft hands, flowers, lace textures.
  • Symmetry and harmonious lines—refined, composed frames.
