The model stands by the stone railing at the lower left of the frame, while the photographer shoots from a slightly lower position, looking up. This creates a sense of depth between the model and the ancient architecture. Using a triangular composition, the model, the eave on the left, and the roof on the right form a visual triangle that is stable and three-dimensional. Branches serve as a natural frame, adding a touch of nature to the top of the image. A wide-angle lens is used to maintain the完整性 of the background architecture. Travel Tip: It is recommended to choose a sunny day for the trip, as shooting under sunlight produces better results.
