The photographer positioned themselves slightly to the side below the stairs, using an upward shooting angle and frame-within-a-frame composition, with the doorframe serving as a natural frame. This technique incorporates the person, the stairs, and the perforated wall into the shot. A standard lens was used to accurately represent the proportion between the person and the environment, enhancing the spatial feel of the scene. Travel Tip: Opening Hours: Only open on Saturdays and Sundays.

The photographer is positioned at a side-front angle, roughly at the same height as the subject, capturing the image from an eye-level perspective. The composition is centered, with the subject placed in the middle of the frame, making them the focal point and drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's actions, expressions, and attire. A standard lens is used to accurately represent the proportions and forms of the subject and background, with no noticeable distortion. The image clearly shows the texture of the subject's clothing, facial expressions, and details of the background architecture and distant mountain outlines. 1. Travel Tips: ① One beverage per person is sufficient for taking photos. During peak hours, each person is limited to five minutes per drink when there are many people, but you can take longer when it's less crowded. ② Each window upstairs has a five-minute time limit per drink, with a minimum spend of 35. It’s less crowded in the morning, while you may need to queue for at least an hour in the afternoon. If you don’t want to wait too long, go in the morning. 2. Additional Experience: Besides the upstairs window, the light at the entrance downstairs is also excellent for photography, often providing more even lighting than upstairs.

The model stands next to a bench at the entrance of a coffee bar, while the photographer positions themselves directly in front of the model, shooting slightly from above to keep the subject prominent. Use a centered composition with the model slightly to the right of the center, and let the surrounding greenery and decor form a natural frame, enhancing the depth of the image. Outfit suggestion: Choose clothing that contrasts with the dark green background, such as high-saturation red or yellow.
