This photo was taken at Showa Kinen Park. The model is Yui Taniuchi. Instagram @yui_taniuchi I took this photo in the middle of summer after the typhoon, but I was able to shoot safely without any damage to the sunflowers. I asked them to wear a costume because I thought a sunflower, white dress, and straw hat would go well with me. This photo was taken through the yellow door. You can't see it in the photo, but dragonflies were also flying. Camera @Panasonic Lumix GH6 Lens@LEICA H-HX025
