The photographer uses the rule of thirds, placing the model on the left one-third of the frame to create a contrast with the artwork, highlighting the balance and depth of the composition. The photographer then shoots at eye level, ensuring the model and the artwork are on the same visual plane, showcasing the details of the artwork and the interactive atmosphere. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or a 2x zoom on a smartphone for the best results, as this can highlight the rich colors of the artwork while avoiding excessive compression of the space.
