Use a low-angle shot with the cat sculpture positioned at the left one-third of the frame, applying the rule of thirds to emphasize the subject. Compose the shot with a foreground and background, ensuring the cat sculpture is in clear focus while the background includes the red window frames and white cat patterns on the shop window, creating a sense of depth and coherence. It's recommended to use a standard focal length to capture both the subject and background details effectively.

Using the rule of thirds, position the green mailbox at the left one-third of the frame, balanced by the text "A Letter to the Future" on the right window. Shoot from a straight-on angle to ensure the entire mailbox, the "Future Letter Box" sign, and the opening time sign are clear. Include the plants and spray bottle inside the window to add environmental details.

The photographer stands directly in front of the shop, parallel to the storefront, using a level shooting angle. Employ a centered composition to place the shop’s facade in the middle of the frame, highlighting the wooden walls, windows, the “Jingwei Shiguang” sign on the right, and the teaware and paintings on the windowsill. The frame should include the reflection of green plants inside the window, and a green plant in the lower right foreground to add depth. Additional tips: It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.

The model stands beside a stone wall, positioned slightly to the right of the frame, using the rule of thirds to balance the subject and background. The photographer shoots from an eye-level angle, using a medium telephoto lens or a 3x zoom on a smartphone to compress the background and emphasize the model and the detailed carvings on the stone wall. The model stands casually against the wall with hands in pockets, creating a natural pose. The background includes an extending alley to enhance the sense of the environment. Equipment: Fuji.
