📷 Composition Tips:
Stand in the center and use the arched structure as leading lines to add tension to the frame.
You can also shoot from a low angle while crouching to make the architecture appear more grand and the subject look taller.

✔ Avoid visiting during peak hours; it’s recommended to go in the morning or on weekdays to avoid cluttered backgrounds.
✔ Avoid wearing all black, as it can create a stark contrast with the architecture and detract from the overall harmony.
✔ Consider bringing a small reflector to soften facial shadows and add more texture to your photos.
