The photographer slightly squats down, using a low-angle flat shot to highlight the interaction between the model and the bicycle, while integrating the door frame structure of the alley, enhancing the sense of space in the picture. Using central composition, the model is placed at the center of the picture, attracting attention. It is recommended to use a 35mm focal length (camera) or a 1x lens on a phone, which can capture the main subject while retaining the atmosphere of the alley.
