Use a centered composition to place the model in the middle of the frame, highlighting the details of their traditional clothing. Incorporate the red walls and yellow-tiled roofs in the background to create a strong classical atmosphere. Shoot from a low angle to enhance the model's presence and add grandeur to the Forbidden City architecture. It is recommended to use a standard lens and adjust the shooting position to ensure that the eaves in the background balance the frame and avoid any tilting.

1. Pose Suggestions: The model should face the camera, holding a round fan above their head with one hand, while the other hand hangs naturally by their side. Alternatively, the model can slightly turn their body, hold the fan, and naturally extend the other hand to create a different feel.
2. Props: Prepare a delicate round fan as a prop to add a classical touch to the scene.
3. Outfit Recommendations: It is suggested to wear Qing dynasty princess attire or cheongsam for the shoot, creating a princess-themed traditional costume portrait. Additionally, opt for a light and transparent makeup look to create a harmonious overall appearance.
