1. Positioning: The model sits on a stone platform beside the red pillar, while the photographer slightly crouches to shoot at a slightly lower angle. Use the contrast of light and shadow to enhance the depth of the image.
2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the model on the right side of the frame, with the red pillar and the transition of light and shadow on the left to add balance and interest to the image.
3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using an 85mm lens or the 2x zoom on a phone to highlight the details of the subject while maintaining the ambient lighting of the background.
Travel Tips: Book your visit 7 days in advance. The site is usually only open on weekends, but is open daily during winter and summer breaks. It is recommended to grab tickets at 8:00 AM.

Using frame composition, with the natural frame of a red wooden door to highlight the vintage texture of the door and the figure inside. The model is positioned slightly to the right of the center, with her left hand on the door handle and her right hand carrying a brown suitcase. She is looking down with a slight tilt to her body, creating a natural and story-rich pose. The photographer shoots from a level angle, capturing the complete door frame, the stone walls on both sides, and the dark space inside the door. The worn details of the door are preserved, ensuring the subject is clear and the composition is balanced.
