I recommend using an upward shooting angle and positioning yourself at a slight distance in the hutong to ensure the complete and prominent structure of Galaxy SOHO, emphasizing its depth. Place the lit top area of Galaxy SOHO at the top of the frame, with the details of the hutong and the old town below, creating a visual contrast between old and new. Use a 12mm wide-angle lens to capture the buildings on both sides of the hutong, and include some street lights and miscellaneous items to add narrative to the urban night scene. Additional tip: It's recommended to shoot at night when the lights are on for a more picturesque effect.
