National Museum of China - Song Dynasty Painted Wooden Seated Statue of Avalokiteshvara

The photographer stands directly in front of the Buddha statue at a medium distance and shoots from a slightly elevated position. Using symmetrical composition with the statue’s central axis as the focal point, elements such as the Buddha, aureole, and base are symmetrically arranged to reinforce a sense of solemnity and stability. A medium focal length lens is used to clearly capture the overall shape and detailed textures of the Buddha statue, compress the background space, highlight the main subject, and ensure accurate proportions and natural perspective, fully showcasing the artistic characteristics of the sculpture.
