1. Angle: The photographer should get close to the ground and use a low angle shot, slightly tilting the camera upward to emphasize the texture of the tiles and the sense of space. 2. Composition: Use leading lines to guide the viewer's eye to the central figure by utilizing the lines of the tiles, adding depth to the image. 3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 35mm focal length or the 1x setting on a phone, which retains the detail of the tiles while capturing the full scene and the contrast between warm and cool tones. 4. Other Shooting Techniques: Adjust the white balance to highlight the contrast between warm and cool tones, and slightly reduce the exposure to prevent overexposure in the highlights, maintaining the layers of the lighting.
