The photographer uses symmetrical composition, placing the original Jiang Customs House building at the center of the frame, with buildings and lights symmetrically distributed on both sides, emphasizing the building's solemnity. The photographer maintains a level shot, parallel to the building's base, ensuring that the building remains vertical and does not appear skewed. It is recommended to use a medium-telephoto lens or a 3x zoom on a smartphone to compress the background and focus on the architectural details and lighting effects.
