Using the rule of thirds composition, place the subject slightly to the left of the center. The right side of the frame should retain the circular orange decoration and black calligraphy to balance the composition. Shoot from a level angle to ensure both the subject and the background are in focus. Include the full decoration in the frame and add green plants on the sides to create depth. Keep part of the grass visible on the ground. The model should sit naturally with their hands folded on their lap, maintaining a relaxed pose.

The photographer stands slightly below in front of the shop, shooting upward to highlight the layers of the sign and eaves. The composition uses the rule of thirds, with the large bubble sign placed at the right one-third of the frame. The smaller sign and neon lights on the left balance the composition. The framing includes the storefront, eaves, both illuminated signs, and the night sky. Adjust the exposure during night photography to avoid overexposing the lights. Travel Tip: Nanluoguxiang is open 24/7 and is free to visit.

1. Positioning: The model stands in the center of the alley, with the photographer shooting from a low angle, slightly backlit, to capture the warm tonal atmosphere of the light. 2. Composition: Use leading lines, with the alley's tiles and the buildings on both sides guiding the viewer's gaze to focus on the model. 3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a 50mm focal length (1x on a phone) to highlight the integration of the subject with the background environment.
