The photographer uses a centered composition with the model positioned in the middle of the frame, maintaining a level shooting angle. The scene includes a foreground railing, mid-ground lotus leaves and water, and a background pavilion and green trees, enhancing the depth of the image. The model leans naturally against the railing, looking sideways towards the water, with a relaxed and stretched posture. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens or the 1x lens on a smartphone for this shot.

Place the tower model at the center of the frame to highlight its complete structure and layers, enhancing the sense of height and majesty.

This will clearly showcase the details and lighting effects of the tower.
