The photographer shoots from a slightly diagonal angle in front of the painted pavilion at eye level. The model is positioned at the center of the frame, with the frame and vibrant colors of the painted pavilion in the background providing visual contrast. The symmetrical division created by the pillars of the pavilion enhances the balance of the composition. A medium to long focal length lens is recommended to bring the subject closer and avoid cluttering the frame with distracting elements.

Follow the road north in the Summer Palace:
1. Pose: Hold a folding fan and stand sideways inside the corridor, looking up at the ceiling.
2. Props: Folding fan.
3. Dress code: It is suggested to wear a doctoral gown or clothing with traditional elements.
