Xiamen | Adorning flowers in spring, beautiful in all seasons, an in-depth explanation from beyond the frame

| Adorning flowers in spring, beautiful in all seasons, an in-depth explanation from beyond the frame. In one sentence: My first experience with hairpin flowers was in Zengcuo'an, Xiamen, not in Cui Pucun, Quanzhou, but it still felt pretty good. 🥹 📌About the location: At the entrance of Zengcuo'an There are quite a few similar hairpin flower shops, you can choose a slightly larger one, the bigger ones are chain stores 💰About the price: Hairpin flowers for 60, makeup + photography for 299 (9 retouched photos, the final photos feel like simple Photoshop) ⏰About the time: The hairpin flower shops open quite early, there are already many 'flower fairies' taking photos in the morning; I went after lunch, and the latest I saw was at 10 pm for night scene photography 🌸Experience process: 1.👗First choose clothes: I fell in love with this red set with cloud shoulders at first sight, it feels very grand among similar ones, personally I think the rich colors look better than the light ones 2.💅Makeup: The ladies are quite meticulous, if you have your own special requests or want to add your own accessories it's all OK 3.💇🏽‍♀️Headwear: First, they use a wig to do the hair, then three rings of flowers in the middle, and then the 'pinning' action starts, which is actually about pinning three layers of flowers with wire inside and outside, the fuller it is pinned, the more grand and vivid it looks 4.📸Photography: Like a princess on a production line, this part is good if you encounter a nice photographer, otherwise some are quite rushed and don't really listen to the customers, so it's a matter of luck. 5.🤳🏻Selfie: Generally after the photographer is done, you can still walk around in the clothes, I wandered around for more than an hour and then returned the clothes. You can go to the beach, the street, or the temple to take some additional photos you want 6.📸Retouching: The photos took about 5 days to arrive, with a quite obvious one-click Photoshop feel (the first 6 photos were taken by the photographer, the last 7 were taken by myself) 👩🏻‍🦰Shooting angle: You can refer to the pictures, Bi shooting location: Hairpin Flower Temple, lots of angles, standing on a chair to shoot the eaves is yyds❗The local old houses, just sitting at the doorway is also beautiful❗Ancient house coffee shop❗ Overall, the experience was quite nice, but I still hope to have the opportunity to go to Cui Pucun for a shoot again.
