Beijing Zhongshuge - Take a photo with the bookshelves and circular voids.

1. Shooting Angle: The photographer is positioned in front of a circular arch. 2. Composition Technique: Use frame-within-frame and symmetrical composition, with multiple circular arches nested to form a frame that guides the viewer's gaze deeper into the scene. The composition is balanced around the central axis, with bookshelves and displays symmetrically arranged on both sides. 3. Lens Usage: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the depth of the space and the rich details of the displays. This photo spot is inside the bookstore, so please keep quiet and avoid going in large groups. When shooting, use silent shutter mode to avoid disturbing others.

Zhongshuge - Staircase Entrance

Use a wide-angle lens and a level shooting angle. Stand in the middle of the corridor to ensure the composition is symmetrical on both sides. Include the glass wall with stairs on the left and the bamboo forest on the right. Use leading lines in the composition, with the vertical lines of the ceiling lights extending towards the distance, guiding the viewer's gaze to the central cloud-shaped installation. Also, include the texture of the floor to enhance the sense of depth.

The photographer stands directly beneath the dome, pointing the camera straight up to ensure the chandelier is centered in the frame, enhancing the symmetry. Using an ultra-wide-angle lens, the shot is even more impactful. Equipment settings: Nikon Z fc + Z 12-28.
