Postpost (Sanlitun Branch) - In front of the vintage clothes rack

1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should be positioned at the side front of the subject, shooting at eye level.
2. Composition Technique: Use contrasting composition; the subject’s white coat contrasts with Santa’s dark outfit, and also stands out against the dark background of the Christmas tree, highlighting the subject. Employ central composition by placing the subject in the center of the frame, making them the focal point.
3. Lens Usage: A 1x lens or wide-angle lens is more suitable to capture more of the scene.
Other Tips:
① If it's too dark at night, try using the flash when taking pictures of people.
② Use the Live Photo feature on your phone to capture more moments, making post-selection easier.

Take a photo with the small snowman, either sitting or standing, with a half-body pose. Use the Christmas wreath as the background, and capture either a full-frontal view or a side view of a squatting pose.
1. Photography Equipment: Fuji XT30 II, 18-55mm lens.
2. Travel Tips: It's best to shoot after sunset, as the atmosphere is perfect. The cool lighting combined with a flash will make your photos stand out. Weekdays are the best time to go, but if you visit on a weekend, just choose one of the queues, as the setups on both sides are almost identical.
3. Dress Code: Opt for gray, white, or red tones, and accessorize with a scarf.

Sān Lǐ Tún Taikoo Li - Molly Yellow Triangle Night Scene

Use a level angle with the subject positioned on the right side of the frame, emphasizing the contrast between the subject and the golden ginkgo leaves. Employ leading lines by arranging the composition so that the trees lining the road create a sense of depth, guiding the viewer's eye into the distance. Include the ginkgo tree canopy above, fallen leaves on the ground, and vehicles in the distant street to add layers to the image. Recommend using a telephoto lens to compress the space and highlight the autumn atmosphere.

Travel Tips: Bring your ID card, as both ends of Dongwu Street have checkpoints for ID checks, electronic IDs are also accepted.

Sanlitun East 5th Street - Ginkgo Avenue

The photographer stands at a slight distance from the building on the ground, shooting from a slightly upward angle. In terms of composition, the Taikoo Li building with its large advertisement posters is placed at the center of the frame, highlighting the architectural appearance and the content of the ads. The glass display windows and pedestrians at the bottom of the building add vitality and a sense of daily life, while the surrounding buildings and ground elements enrich the background. A wide-angle lens is used to fully capture the entire building, exaggerating its height and enhancing the visual impact of the image.

Additional tip: Try to avoid including pedestrians in the shot when taking the photo.

The model stands in front of a magnolia tree, with the photographer shooting from a straight-on, eye-level perspective. The person is the focal point of the composition, with the background layers created by the blooming flowers and greenery behind them. A medium focal length lens is used to clearly capture the details of the model’s attire and the surrounding scenery.

Additional tips: Late March to early April is an excellent time for photoshoots.
