Photography Tips
The model stands on the roadside opposite the corner tower, while the photographer crouches to take a mid-shot from below. Ensure the tower is fully captured, using the rule of thirds for composition. Place the model at the lower right intersection of the thirds, and position the tower along the upper third line to add balance. Use a 35mm lens or the 1x focal length on a smartphone to capture both the tower’s details and the model’s mid-shot. Equipment settings: Fuji XT30II with 18-55mm lens.
