The photographer uses a top-down angle and a foreground-background composition to highlight the ancient zither in the display case and the background artwork. The zither is the main subject in the foreground, while the artwork serves as a background element to enhance the sense of depth. The framing includes the entire zither and the complete artwork within the display case, avoiding any unnecessary clutter. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to ensure that both the zither and the artwork are fully captured in the shot.
