I recommend using the rule of thirds for composition, placing the model at the right one-third of the frame to maintain balance and highlight the details of the vintage sofa and wooden interior. A frontal shooting angle can showcase the symmetry and depth of the space, emphasizing the retro atmosphere. The framing should include the sofa, the round metal coffee table, and wall decorations to highlight the intricate design. I recommend using a standard lens to capture the overall feel of the vintage carriage, while also leaving some negative space to avoid a cluttered visual appearance. 1. Equipment settings: Fujifilm XS10, NC filter. 2. Posing suggestions: ① The model can sit on the sofa, holding a cup, looking at the camera or slightly turning the head; ② The model can also sit sideways on the sofa, looking down and smiling. 3.
