The photographer stands in front of the pavilion, slightly elevating the camera position for a frontal, level shot to ensure both the pavilion and the model are fully in the frame. Use the circular window of the pavilion to frame the distant scenery, adding depth to the photo. Shoot with a 50mm lens on a camera or 2x zoom on a smartphone to avoid architectural distortion caused by wide-angle lenses. 1. Photo Poses: ① Stand in the center of the pavilion with the lake and willow trees as the background. Turn your head slightly to the side or look back with a smile, capturing the gentle demeanor of a southern Chinese woman. ② Take a full view of the pavilion from the lakeside outside, placing the person next to the pavilion and interacting with it, such as extending both arms. This will add a storytelling element to the photo. 2. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: A ticket is required to enter the park, which can be purchased in advance. ② Best Time to Shoot: Try to visit on a sunny day when the sunlight illuminates the pavilion.
