The model stands on one side of the tulips, and the photographer should position themselves 4 meters away on the other side of the tulips. The camera should frame the model and the building slightly from below, using layered composition with the foreground being the tulip flowers, the midground the model, and the background the building. This will create a rich and layered image. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens to highlight the details of the model and the flowers.

Posing Suggestions:
1. Place both hands together to convey a shy and delicate feeling, echoing the beauty of the flowers.
2. Turn around and look at the building for a back view shot, creating an atmospheric image.

Galaxy SOHO - Tulip Fields

I recommend using an upward shooting angle and positioning yourself at a slight distance in the hutong to ensure the complete and prominent structure of Galaxy SOHO, emphasizing its depth. Place the lit top area of Galaxy SOHO at the top of the frame, with the details of the hutong and the old town below, creating a visual contrast between old and new. Use a 12mm wide-angle lens to capture the buildings on both sides of the hutong, and include some street lights and miscellaneous items to add narrative to the urban night scene.

Additional tip: It's recommended to shoot at night when the lights are on for a more picturesque effect.
