Photography Tips
1. Angle: The photographer stands on the other side of the window, opposite to the subject, using an eye-level angle for the shot. 2. Composition: Employ frame-within-a-frame composition, where the windowpanes naturally form a frame around the subject. This technique not only highlights the subject but also adds depth and formality to the image. The contrast between the in-focus subject and the out-of-focus background within the frame guides the viewer's attention to the subject, enhancing the overall appeal of the photo. 3. Lens Recommendation: A medium to long telephoto lens can blur the background, ensuring that distant ancient buildings are not overly clear, which prevents the viewer's attention from being diverted. This also compresses the space, making the relationship between the subject and the background more intimate and creating a unique atmosphere.
