1. Position: The model stands in the center of the steps at the main entrance of the church, while the photographer moves forward to the left side of the close-up stone lion, shooting from a slightly low angle to highlight the height and three-dimensionality of the architecture.
2. Composition: Use a frame composition, with the stone lion as the foreground and the model and Gothic church entrance centered in the frame, emphasizing symmetrical beauty.
3. Lens Recommendation: With the model on the platform of the steps and the photographer on the platform below the steps, try using a 1x/wide-angle lens.
1. Equipment Settings: Fuji XE4, 18-50mm f2.8 lens.
2. Pose Suggestions: The model can look at or away from the camera, walking naturally or gently touching the stone lion to add a sense of storytelling and movement to the shot.
3. Outfit Recommendations: Simple and comfortable clothing works well, with black, white, and gray being versatile choices.
