Photography Tips
The model is positioned at one-third of the way from the right side of the frame, while the old mailbox is at one-third from the left, employing the rule of thirds to create a balanced composition. The flat shooting angle allows for a natural interaction between the two. The model, with a genuine sense of storytelling, is gently posting a letter with the right hand and looking down with focus. The foreground includes leaves that form a natural frame, and the background retains the ancient building's main door, red lanterns, and brick carvings, highlighting the old objects and the atmosphere of the ancient architecture. Travel Tips: Free admission.
