The model stands in front of the Xili Pavilion, and the photographer takes a low-angle shot from directly in front of the model, placing the subject at the center of the frame. It is recommended to use a medium focal length lens to ensure proper proportions of the subject while moderately blurring the background to highlight the main subject. Travel Tip: Early morning or evening, when the soft light slants across the Xili Pavilion, can outline the contours of the pavilion, adding depth and dimension to the photo. The warm tones of the light at these times also make the photos more appealing.
