The photographer should crouch to align parallel with the exhibit, using a flat angle to ensure the exhibit is fully presented. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or the 2x zoom on a phone to avoid wide-angle distortion and highlight the details of the exhibit. Additional tips: Turn off the flash and rely on the lighting inside the display case, while adjusting the exposure compensation appropriately to avoid an overly dark background.
