The photographer captures the scene from a frontal view, using central composition to place the flag-raising platform at the center of the frame, highlighting the main subject.

Tiananmen Square - Flag Raising Platform framed with Tiananmen Gate Tower

The photographer stands across the street from Tiananmen, slightly angled to shoot, avoiding a direct frontal shot to add more depth to the image, with the camera height parallel to the main gate of Tiananmen. Using the rule of thirds, the main subject of Tiananmen is placed at the right third of the frame, leaving the left side for dynamic street scenes to enrich the content. A telephoto lens is used to compress the distance between the foreground and background, highlighting the architectural subject of Tiananmen.

The photographer can stand three to four meters to the left front of the subject, using a slightly upward angle. The subject should be positioned on the right side of the frame, with the composition highlighting the main body of the subject to make them appear tall and straight. The trunk of a tree can be used as a frame to enclose the subject, guiding the viewer's gaze towards them, adding interest and formal sense to the image. This also naturally integrates the subject with the background. Apply composition rules like the "rule of thirds" to place Tiananmen in one-third of the frame to enhance visual appeal.
