1. Positioning Angle: The photographer stands directly in front of the model, shooting at eye level. 2. Composition Techniques: a. Use central composition, placing the person at the center of the frame to make them the visual focus; b. Utilize the shop signs and doors/windows to create a frame, highlighting the subject. 3. Lens Usage: Employ a medium to long telephoto lens to compress space, naturally blending the model with the background. 1. Additional Suggestions: It is best to go on a sunny day, between 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, when the light angle is good for photography; 2. Shooting Experience: Beiluoguxiang and Nanluoguxiang are only one street apart, but they have much fewer people than Nanluoguxiang, with many unique bars and coffee shops, making it very suitable for producing photos.
