When to use this pose

A beginner casual pose for Festival photos, set in a garden setting, during the day. Who is in the photo: solo.

How to do this pose

  1. Kneel on a folded mat at the edge of the floral circle
  2. Lean forward gently with the sari pleats tucked neatly under the knees
  3. Place a pinch of yellow marigold petals into the outer ring with one hand
  4. Hold a small basket of petals in the other hand at hip level

Photography tips

Shoot at 35mm, f/4, from a slightly raised angle so the round pookalam shows its full pattern; keep her in open shade so the petals stay evenly coloured.

Expression

Quiet concentration with a soft, satisfied smile.

Camera angle

Slightly high angle from the front-side, full body with the whole pookalam in frame.
