The photographer stands below the building, using an upward shooting angle to create a frame composition with the upper and lower eaves. The edge of the upper eave and the tile surface of the lower roof form the frame, with the blue sky and leafy green trees in the middle, enhancing the depth of the image and highlighting the harmonious contrast between the ancient architecture and nature.

It's recommended to use a level shooting angle with a standard focal length lens. For the composition, position the model in a three-quarter pose, looking back and smiling naturally. In the background, include the rooftops and red walls of the Forbidden City to add depth. The frame should also capture the stone pavement to highlight the atmosphere of the environment.

Position the corner tower slightly to the right of center in the frame, with the red wall and golden door studs on the left serving as the foreground.

A standard lens is used to accurately capture the proportions and spatial relationships between the subject, the willows, and the water, presenting the scene details clearly. Outfit suggestion: Choose traditional Qing dynasty style clothing, such as a qipao or a changyi, in soft tones like pastel pink or light blue.

The model stands to the left of a green wall, positioned at the left one-third of the frame, with the photographer shooting from the front at eye level.

The model is positioned in a side profile, gently touching the "Fu" character, which adds a natural and interactive feel. The composition should include the foreground wall, the model, and details of the ancient architecture in the background, and a wide-angle lens is recommended for this shot.
