1. The warm yellow spotlights in the Baigong House cast a vintage filter onto the red brick walls! Position the subject at the edge of the light and shadow, capturing a side profile or a glance back, and you’ll instantly get a cinematic feel.
2. Action shots: Let your friends move around, play with their hair, or spin in circles, and use the burst mode to capture natural moments, which are more story-telling than stiff poses.
3. Low angle + wide angle: Crouch down and shoot upwards to frame both the triangular dome of the Baigong House and the person in the shot, emphasizing the powerful architectural lines!

Outfit Suggestions & Other Tips:
Outfit: Wear light or bright colors (white, red, beige) to stand out against the dark background.
Camera Settings: Use night mode on your phone, and for cameras, opt for a large aperture (F1.8 or wider) and slightly increase the ISO (around 1600).
Props: Bring a string of fairy lights or a transparent umbrella to add depth to the lighting!

Using a centered composition, place the subject in the middle of the frame, with the balloon on the left and architectural features on the right. The photographer should stand in the middle of the road and shoot from a slightly elevated angle.

1. Shooting Pose: The model should sit by the roadside, holding a balloon and looking at the camera.
2. Outfit Suggestions: The model can wear light-colored clothing for the shoot.
3. Props: Use brightly colored balloons to complement the shoot.

Bagong House - Side House Building

The model is sitting on a bench, and the photographer is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the front of the subject, shooting at eye level. Place the subject in the lower third of the frame, and include elements such as buildings, street signs, and flower beds in the background.

Additional tips: Shooting on a nice day will yield better results.

Lihuangpi Road - Street Bench

Use an upward angle with the subject centered in the frame to highlight the main subject. The composition should include the railing, European architectural carvings, a coffee shop sign, and part of the sky to enhance the depth of the environment. The model stands sideways with a transparent umbrella, maintaining a natural expression.

Travel Tip: The best times for photography are from 6:00-8:00 AM when there are fewer people and the light is soft, or during the golden hour from 6:00-8:00 PM when the light is absolutely beautiful.
