1. Positioning: The photographer stands at the side-front of the model, at about the same height as the model for the shoot. 2. Composition Technique: A shallow depth of field is used, with stone lions and railings on the bridge as background elements. The background is blurred to highlight the model, while using leading lines, such as the extension of the bridge, to guide the viewer's gaze to the model. 3. Lens Usage: A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, making the background elements more concentrated. This enhances the overall tightness of the frame and emphasizes the main subject. Travel Tips: ① Admission: 20 yuan (half price for students); ② Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM); ③ The best time for photos is on a sunny day or at dusk, when the interplay of light and shadow creates a beautiful atmosphere. Other Tips: ① Allow 2-3 hours to fully soak in the historical ambiance; ② The bridge surface
