1. Positioning: The model stands on the stairs near the red wall, while the photographer shoots from a slightly lower angle, using a diagonal composition. The wall and tree trunks form leading lines. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the model in the lower right third of the frame, with the branches of the flowers naturally framing the background. 3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 50mm focal length on a camera or the 2x mode on a phone to compress the space and highlight the subject and background details.

1. Shooting Angle: The model stands in front of the red wall, and the photographer shoots from a slightly lower angle to enhance the depth and layers between the subject and the background. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, with the model positioned slightly above center. The action of holding a round fan creates leading lines in the composition. 3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use an 85mm focal length (2x on a smartphone) to highlight the model and blur the background. 1. Travel Tips: It’s best to arrive early to avoid crowds, enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, and freely choose shooting angles. Utilize the soft morning light for side or back lighting to capture the model’s outline and ambiance. 2. Props: Use items like round fans and oil-paper umbrellas to add a classical touch. 3. Outfit Suggestions: Choose simple and elegant styles; plain-colored Hanfu or cheongsam (qipao) look great and complement the rustic red wall.

The photographer uses an upward angle to highlight the roof ornaments and red wall details of the ancient architecture. The main building is positioned at the left one-third of the frame, while trees on the right side balance the composition. The shot includes the roof, red walls, a blue sky background, and foreground trees and grass, enhancing the sense of depth. A medium to long focal length is recommended to compress the background and emphasize the subject. Camera equipment: Sony A7C2.
