1. Shooting Angle: The photographer stands at a distance in front of the building, shooting at eye level to fully capture the entire structure.
2. Composition Techniques:
① Use symmetrical composition, with the main building symmetrically aligned along the central axis, giving a sense of stability and solemnity;
② Central composition, placing the building in the center of the frame as the focal point; the circular lawn in the foreground adds depth to the image and guides the viewer’s attention to the building.
3. Lens Usage: Use a wide-angle lens to include the entire building and its surroundings, showcasing the building's scale and setting, and enhancing the openness of the image.
Travel Tips: Admission is free.
Additional Tips: The park is quite small and can be toured in about 30 minutes. It mainly consists of modified car shops, which might be less interesting for women.

1. Shooting Angle: The photographer should crouch in front of the model and shoot from a low, upward angle.
2. Composition Techniques: Use leading lines and subject prominence in the composition. The lines of the bicycle and the patterns of the ground tiles serve as leading lines, guiding the viewer's gaze towards the model. The model is positioned at the center of the frame, making her the absolute visual focal point. Surrounding elements like street signs and bicycles are used to complement the composition, adding richness to the scene without overwhelming the subject.
3. Lens Recommendation: A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture more elements in the scene, increasing the tension and visual impact of the image.
1. Outfit Suggestions: Consider dressing more boldly. The architecture in the park is mostly American and European style, making it a great setting for American-style bolder poses.
2. Additional Tips: Bringing a pet can add to the photo.

1. Props: Balloons (balloons cannot be taken on the subway, but you can inflate them during the taxi ride), books, and bubble machines.
