The model is sitting on the steps of a staircase, facing away from the camera, with her legs stretched out and her hair cascading naturally. The pose is relaxed. The composition is centered, with the model positioned in the middle of the frame. The diagonal lines formed by the staircase guide the viewer’s eye. The shot is taken from a level angle, at the same height as the model. We recommend using a medium to long focal length to compress the background, highlighting the subject and the lines of the staircase.

Use a reflective composition with a level shooting angle to fully capture the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the Great Hall of the People, and their reflections on the water. Keep the background as a dark night sky to highlight the lighting effects. Stand at a position level with the water on the opposite shore to ensure that the buildings and their reflections are symmetrical, enhancing the balance and atmosphere of the image.
