Shooting Tips: The model should stand in front of the door, and the photographer should position themselves two arm lengths away, using a 2x/medium telephoto lens for the shot.

Shooting Time: Around 5 PM, when the lighting is excellent.

Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens.

Outfit Suggestions: The overall mood of the Wanshou Temple is solemn and primarily red, so a simple outfit is recommended.

Posing Tips: Bring a fan as a prop to avoid having empty hands and not knowing what to do with them. Some universal poses include looking down at the camera, looking up at the sky, or looking down at the ground.
