1. Positioning Angle: The photographer stands directly in front of the model, shooting at eye level. 2. Composition Techniques: a. Use central composition, placing the person at the center of the frame to make them the visual focus; b. Utilize the shop signs and doors/windows to create a frame, highlighting the subject. 3. Lens Usage: Employ a medium to long telephoto lens to compress space, naturally blending the model with the background. 1. Additional Suggestions: It is best to go on a sunny day, between 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, when the light angle is good for photography; 2. Shooting Experience: Beiluoguxiang and Nanluoguxiang are only one street apart, but they have much fewer people than Nanluoguxiang, with many unique bars and coffee shops, making it very suitable for producing photos.

The photographer stands in front of the door, capturing a high-angle, flat shot using a framing composition. In the frame, white flowers and green plant branches naturally interweave into an arched "frame" that encloses the entrance to the alley. This natural frame draws the viewer's attention to the depth of the alley, enhancing the sense of depth and guiding the viewer's gaze. At the same time, the soft lines of the plants add a romantic and leisurely atmosphere to the frame, which matches the ambiance of the alley's lifestyle. Other tips: pay attention to hydration and sun protection when traveling.
