The photographer stands directly in front of the building, capturing the prominent roof tiles and the height of the structure. The composition balances the red window frames and wall elements on either side, with the yellow triangular wall and the text “Feng Shui Treasure Site” as the visual focal point. The shot includes the gray tiled roof, red and green eaves, yellow walls, and a white flower pot with green plants in the foreground. The blue sky in the background enhances the color contrast.

Use a straight-on angle and center composition to place the storefront in the middle of the frame, ensuring the main subject is complete. The framing should include the sticker board on the left, the plants and chair on the right, and the "welcome dog" sign in front, adding rich details to the image. It's recommended to use a wide-angle or phone 1x lens to capture the full view of the shop and its surrounding environment.

Travel Tips: Plan to head out after 2 PM, when the slanted sunlight is most photogenic, and you can also catch the sunset in the alley in the evening.

I recommend using a bird's-eye view angle with the model positioned on the right side of the center, following the rule of thirds. Include green plants on the left in the foreground to add depth. Capture the warm lighting and wooden structure of the shop in the background to create a nighttime atmosphere.

The model stands with their back to the camera, slightly off-center at the lower part of the store entrance. The composition includes a hanging clock, a flag, and fish-shaped decorations in the foreground, the model's back as the mid-ground focal point, and the store doors and windows in the background to add depth to the image. A standard focal length is recommended to ensure a natural blend of environmental details and the subject.
