Use a centered composition with the model in the middle of the frame, and the photographer should shoot from an eye-level angle. Include the yellow-roofed temple architecture in the background and incorporate trees on the left side to add depth. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to highlight the integration of the character and ancient architecture.

The photographer uses a low-angle shot with the red wall as the main background, incorporating the ancient architectural roof and leaves on both sides to add a sense of depth to the environment. A central composition is employed, placing the "Lama Temple" plaque and the smaller "Yonghegong Street 28" sign in the center of the frame to highlight the subject. It is recommended to use a medium to long focal length/3x zoom on a smartphone to ensure the plaque's text is clear and to avoid interference from surrounding clutter.

The photographer should take a flat shot, holding items such as the Yonghegong cloth bag and tickets in the lower part of the frame to enhance the sense of depth. Use a front-to-back composition, with clear foreground items and the red palace gate centered in the background, preserving the plaque above the gate, the carvings on both sides, and the distant view of trees and pedestrians inside the gate. Ensure that both the full view of the palace gate and the details in the foreground are captured, resulting in a richly layered image.
