The photographer suggests using a low-angle shot with the model positioned slightly to the right at the bottom center of the frame, facing away from the camera to create a silhouette. They recommend employing a foreground-background composition technique, with the foreground including the silhouette of the person, the middle ground capturing the red wall and steps, and the background featuring the ancient building's roof and sunlight, enhancing the sense of depth in the image. It is advised to use a standard lens for the shot, and in backlight scenarios, to appropriately increase exposure to prevent the subject from being overly dark, highlighting the details and textures of the red wall and roof. Ticket Price: 25 yuan per person.
