1. Positioning: The model stands in the center of the door frame, and the photographer stands outside the door, shooting at the same level as the model’s shoulders to create a symmetrical frame with the door.
2. Composition: Use frame-within-a-frame composition, with the door frame as the foreground to guide the viewer’s eye and enhance the stability of the image through symmetry.
3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 50mm focal length (2x on a phone) to maintain a natural perspective and avoid distortion.
4. Framing: Include traditional Chinese architecture elements such as red windows and gray walls in the background to highlight the cultural atmosphere, while keeping the background simple and unobtrusive.
Equipment: Use a Canon R8 camera with an RF 24-105mm lens.
Travel Tips:
① Admission: The park is free, but the imperial palace charges a fee.
