Photography Tips
The model stands 2 meters in front of a magnolia tree, while the photographer is positioned directly in front of the model, about 1 meter away, shooting from a low angle and looking up. The rule of thirds is used for composition, with the model centered, and the ancient architecture on the left and the magnolia tree on the right symmetrically distributed to enhance the balance of the image. A 24mm focal length on a camera or a 1x zoom on a phone is recommended to highlight the subject while fully showcasing the background architecture and the magnolia tree. 1. Equipment: Fuji XT5 with a 16-50mm lens. 2. Pose: Stretch out both arms and look up at the magnolia tree; this angle is suitable for more dynamic movements. 3. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Price: 20 RMB per person, which can be purchased up to 7 days in advance on the Beijing Art Museum's official WeChat account. ② Operating Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, with the last entry at 4:30 PM. The museum is closed on Mondays.
