The photographer is positioned at a close distance in front of the restaurant, shooting from a low angle to highlight the restaurant’s sign and architectural outline. Using a central composition, the main body of the restaurant is placed at the center of the frame, with the neon lights on the sign becoming the focal point. Foreground elements such as people and tables add depth to the composition. A wide-angle lens is used to capture the entire exterior of the restaurant and the surrounding night scenery, enhancing the visual impact and making the neon lights and architectural lines more dynamic.

Just before dusk, as the restaurant lights turn on and complement the setting sun, the American-style atmosphere is rich and vibrant.
