• Composition: The subject should be seated on a chair, using the rule of thirds, with the subject occupying the lower third of the frame and the upper two-thirds reserved for the background of old photos and decor to showcase the space.
• Technique: If the on-site lighting is slightly yellowish, use the built-in camera on your phone to take the photo, then adjust the color temperature in post-processing to a normal level to restore the subject’s skin tone; increase the contrast to highlight the texture of the old photos.
• Pose: Cross your legs and lean back slightly to convey a relaxed and comfortable vibe; or place one hand on the armrest and the other hand naturally on your lap to create a dignified and vintage atmosphere.
• Tips: Wear a vintage-style dress and pair it with a retro hairstyle to blend seamlessly with the setting; when shooting, pay attention to the chair's weight capacity to ensure safety.

Composition: The subject stands beside the shrine table, using the golden ratio to position the subject at the golden point on the right side of the frame, with the shrine table and items on the left, creating a more balanced composition.

Technique: The ambient light is relatively flat, so use the phone's flashlight to add fill light, highlighting the details of the subject and the shrine table; during post-processing, lower the color temperature to give the image a warm, antique tone.

Pose: Slightly lean forward and gently touch an item on the shrine table to convey curiosity and respect; or stand straight with hands folded in front to exude a dignified presence.

Tip: Respect the folk artifacts and do not move them casually; learn about the cultural background of the shrine table to add depth to your photography.
