China News Service, Shaoxing, March 22 (Xiang Jing) At present, spring flowers are blooming beautifully all over the country, and people are going out to "catch the flower trend", and consumption patterns such as "accompaniment for photography" and "appointment for photography" are also heating up.

Recently, on the banks of Guazhu Lake in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, about 260,000 tulips were in full bloom, attracting an endless stream of tourists. Among the huge flower-viewing crowd, many girls made appointments with "accompanying photographers" to travel in groups, leaving the most beautiful figures in the sea of spring flowers.

It is understood that "accompanying photo" means the combination of "accompanying + taking pictures". While meeting social needs such as accompanying flowers and admiring flowers, it can also provide photo services such as shooting and photo editing.
Wearing beautiful spring clothes, Xiao Song, a "post-95s generation", took dozens of photos with tulips under the guidance of the "accompanying photographer" and posted "Nine Palaces" on social platforms that day. "We walked and chatted while admiring the lake view, and occasionally stopped to enjoy flowers and take photos. It was very pleasant." When interviewed, Xiao Song said that the "appointment to shoot" only cost 60 yuan for an hour, and "it felt very worthwhile."

In the afternoon of the same day, Jin Xiyue, a "post-00s" girl, took a SLR and finished the previous "accompaniment shooting" before seamlessly entering the next one. "All kinds of flowers have been blooming recently, and the number of orders has suddenly increased. "Sea of Tulips" has been filmed for six times, and three more have been booked, and there will probably be new orders in the future."
Jin Xiyue went to college in Shaoxing. Because she loves photography, she started a "accompanying photography" business in her spare time in January this year. When interviewed, she said bluntly, "Shaoxing is a tourist city, and there is a strong demand for 'accompanying photos' in the market. Over the past two months, I have not only earned pocket money, but also met many girls and helped them record beautiful moments. I am also very happy."

Judging from online social platforms, most of the "accompanying photographers" are college students, and the price is relatively affordable, usually less than 100 yuan per hour. Analysts believe that "accompanying photography" services are becoming more and more popular, which also reflects the pursuit of beauty by contemporary young people and reflects people's demand for emotional value and personalized consumption.
