Photography Tips
Model should stand next to the Zhengyang Gate stone arch, not directly underneath it, to add more structure to the composition. The photographer should shoot from a distance of 3 meters. Equipment settings: Fuji XH2S, lens 18-55. Poses: 1. The model leans against the wall, arms crossed in front of the chest, head slightly raised, looking towards the sunlight. 2. In front of the stone arch, take large steps forward while the photographer captures the movement. 3. Turn the head sideways and look up at the "Zhengyang Gate" inscription. Travel tips: It's recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds and capture scenes without people. Make a reservation for a specific time slot, but you can still enter if you’re a bit late. Only mobile phones and cameras are allowed; all other items must be stored at the security checkpoint at the north gate.
