The photographer stands opposite the model, shooting at eye level. The model, as the main subject, is positioned slightly to the left of the center. The background features traditional old Beijing rooftops and withered trees, adding regional character and enriching the composition.

Additional tips: It's recommended to come earlier in the afternoon, as it can get crowded after 3 PM, making it difficult to find a seat or take photos without a queue.

The photographer stands across the alley, slightly tilting the camera upward from a position opposite the police station entrance, maintaining the same height as the main subject to ensure the full frame is captured. Use centered composition, with the police station gate positioned in the middle of the frame, and brick walls on either side. For recording scene details and overall layout, a 24mm lens on a camera or 1x zoom on a phone is recommended.

Additional tips: Do not loiter at office premises.

Ban Chang Hutong - Filming Location for the Magic Cellphone

The model stands in the middle of the hutong, with the photographer facing the model at a distance of about 2 meters. The camera is positioned slightly below the model’s chest, using a centered composition. The model is facing the camera directly, with symmetrical backgrounds on both sides to enhance the balance of the image. The photo is taken with a 70mm lens on the camera and a 2x lens on the phone, which compresses the space and highlights the extended lines of the hutong behind the model.

1. Posing Suggestions:
① The model stands in the middle of the hutong, with arms extended to the sides, one leg lifted, head tilted, and smiling at the photographer.
② The model stands facing the photographer, with one arm raised above the head and the other hand in a pocket, legs slightly bent, and looking at the photographer.

2. Outfit Recommendations: 
Choose a fitted blazer or wide-shouldered suit, or a loose knit top, paired with washed blue jeans, wide-leg pants, a baseball cap, and cat-eye sunglasses as accessories.
