Shoot from a slightly higher position to ensure that the dragon pattern on the front of the bright red glazed plate is clearly displayed. Use a centered composition, placing the plate in the center of the frame to highlight the main pattern and color. Include red porcelain pieces on both sides in the background to enhance the exhibition atmosphere. Keep a simple gray cloth in the foreground that doesn’t distract. Pay attention to adjusting the exposure to avoid underexposure, ensuring that the red glaze remains vibrant.
