The model is sitting on a bench slightly to the left of the center of the frame, with the right side left blank to include stone steps, flower pots, and a clear blue sky, balancing the composition. The stone walls on both sides of the alley form leading lines, extending from the foreground to distant greenery, enhancing the sense of depth. The photographer shoots from a low angle, capturing the bench, stone-paved road, stone walls on both sides, and orange flowers, evoking the atmosphere of an ancient village. The model is seated naturally, with one hand resting on the bench, feet pointing forward, and a relaxed smile directed at the camera. Travel Tip: Admission is free.

Using a symmetrical composition, the two wooden signboards are evenly distributed on either side of the central frame, balancing the visual elements. The shot is taken from a straight-on angle to ensure the text on the signboards is clear and the distressed brick wall texture is fully visible. The framing includes the complete signboards and the wall, preserving the rustic feel. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to highlight the details of the main subject and its integration with the surroundings. Admission: Free.

Use a slightly upward angle, shooting from a low position in front of the stele to highlight its three-dimensional quality. Center the composition, placing the "Cuan" stele in the middle of the frame, with symmetrical green trees on both sides to enhance balance. The frame should include the full view of the stele, a blue sky background, the green trees on both sides, and traditional buildings in the distance on the left, with the stone path serving as the foreground.

Using the rule of thirds for composition, the model is seated in the center of the frame, with the photographer shooting at eye level. The scene should include the ancient text gate on the left, the yellow decorative character on the right, and the background of rocks and moss. In the foreground, add a table, chairs, and a helmet to enhance the setting. The model should sit naturally, turned slightly to the left, looking toward the text gate, with a natural and interactive pose that balances the main subject with the background elements.

The model stands in front of a red brick wall with large Chinese characters that read "Think Positively." The photographer uses a standard lens to capture the subject, who is centered in the frame, emphasizing the composition that aligns the subject with the text. The model’s arms are naturally spread out, palms facing upward, gesturing toward the text to enhance the interactive feel. The entire brick wall and the large characters "Think Positively" are included, with some of the brick structure visible on both sides. Other tips: Avoid crowded areas and travel during off-peak hours.
