The photographer stands slightly to the side and in front of the subject, shooting at eye level. The seat where the subject is sitting serves as a dividing line, with the lower third of the frame showing the subject’s legs and the ground, and the upper two-thirds showing the ancient pagoda, creating a stable composition. Using a medium-telephoto lens, the background details are blurred to highlight the subject and a section of the pagoda, clearly showing the spatial relationship between the person and the pagoda.

Travel Tip: The park is small but very photogenic. The most famous attraction inside is the Vajra Throne Pagoda, known for its exquisite carvings and Cambodian-style architecture, making it perfect for photo ops. Best of all, it’s usually not crowded, so it’s easy to get good shots.

Shooting from a level perspective, the composition features ancient architecture (tower structures, arches, carvings), stone artifacts, and trees as the main elements. The tower structures are symmetrically distributed on either side, with the arch centered in the frame. The stone artifact is placed in the foreground center, creating a sense of solemnity and stability. The golden leaves contrast and harmonize with the gray-brown of the ancient buildings, the red of the arch, and the gray-white of the stone artifacts, adding visual appeal with their vivid color contrasts. Using a standard lens, the details of the carvings, architectural structures, tree branches and leaves, and the textures of the stone artifacts are captured clearly, conveying a visual experience rich in historical depth and classical charm.
