Using the rule of thirds composition, place the model in the center of the frame. The photographer should shoot at eye level, capturing the red lanterns and the shop sign with the word 'Fu' on the left side. Include the traditional buildings on both sides of the alley in the background. The model should stand naturally, holding a bag in one hand and casually putting the other hand in their pocket. It is recommended to use a standard focal length for the shot.

The photographer takes a flat shot from a high terrace, using a foreground composition with a coffee cup and small ornaments to add depth. The middle ground includes the gray tile roofs and autumn trees of the alleyways, while the background captures the orange-red ancient buildings and sky, enriching the layers of the image. A medium telephoto lens is used to compress space and highlight the main subject.

Travel Tips: It is recommended to go out on a sunny day.

The photographer stands a little further away from the alley, capturing both the "Fuding" and the distant Yonghe Temple in the frame through the lens. The model sits on the camera chair, and the photographer shoots from a distance of 3-5 meters away, framing both the backdrop and the Yonghe Temple in the shot. The best time for shooting is from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM, when the slanting sunlight highlights the brightness of the reds and captures the radiance of the Yonghe Temple.

Wudaoying Hutong - Fuding 3rd Floor Terrace

The photographer should slightly tilt up from the front to fully capture the model and the "Fu" character in the frame, highlighting the national trend style in the background; or take a side shot, using the model's silhouette and the shape of the sugar gourd to form the visual focus.

1. Pose for the photo: The model can hold a large sugar gourd, stand sideways under the "Fu" sign, slightly look up, showing a relaxed and happy expression. The photographer can capture the moment when the model pretends to bite the sugar gourd, combined with the cultural scene inside and outside the cafe to create a relaxed atmosphere.

2. Shooting time: It is recommended to shoot between 10:00-11:00 AM or 15:00-17:00 PM. The sunlight shines on the "Fu" sign, resulting in the best shooting effect with rich light and shadow levels. It is suggested to arrive during non-peak dining hours to reduce the interference of people flow and facilitate photography.
