The photographer stands high on the square, using the rule of thirds for composition, with the subject positioned at the lower left intersection. The blue chairs are neatly arranged, forming repeating elements that guide the viewer's eye.

It is recommended to use a medium-telephoto lens to highlight the geometric arrangement of the chairs and the contrast with the subject's silhouette. Adjust the exposure compensation appropriately to retain the details of the floor texture and the silhouette effect.
