Stand inside the red door frame of the Forbidden City, use a straight-on angle, and frame the composition with the door frame as the foreground, capturing the ancient structures with red walls and golden roofs, the central screen wall, and the green trees and blue sky above. The background should include the complete ancient building roof, screen wall pattern, and the stone pedestals on both sides to enhance the depth of the scene.

On the left, incorporate the traditional roof of the Forbidden City as a backdrop to balance the frame. The model should be side-on with hands clasped together, adding a natural and storytelling element.

Using a centered composition, the bronze incense burner is placed at the center of the frame, fully showcasing the decorative patterns on the top and the intricate base details. The photographer stands slightly above and in front of the incense burner, shooting from a slightly elevated angle to include part of the stone wall and the stone-paved ground in the background, enhancing the environmental depth. A standard lens is used to ensure the subject is clear and to avoid any distracting elements.

The model is positioned at the left one-third of the frame, with the camera shooting at eye level. The composition uses a foreground element, with the carved stone railing on the left side blurred to add depth.

Additional tips: Make a reservation in advance.
