Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with branches naturally forming a foreground frame to highlight the corner tower as the main subject. The photographer should shoot from a low angle, placing the corner tower in the center of the frame to showcase architectural details and grandeur. The composition should include the foreground branches, the full view of the corner tower, and the sky in the background to enhance depth. It is recommended to use a medium to long focal length lens for this shot. Additional tips: Be mindful of heat protection on hot days.

The model is seated on the steps in front of a red wall, positioned slightly left of center (at the left one-third mark according to the rule of thirds), holding a fan raised upwards with a natural and lively gesture. The photographer uses a slightly overhead angle and recommends a wide-angle lens to capture the red wall, steps, and part of the stone pavement, emphasizing the texture of the red wall and the details of the model's attire. The composition is clean and interactive.
