Photography Tips
Photography Tips: Have the model stand in front of the Xie Xiu Gate, and the photographer should position themselves about 1.5 meters in front of the model using the central composition technique for an eye-level shot. This will allow you to include the tree and flowers on the right and the stone landscaping on the left, adding more atmosphere to the photo. Pose Suggestions: The model should stand in front of the Xie Xiu Gate, with one hand gently touching the door frame, body slightly turned 15 degrees, and head tilted back slightly to look up at the sky. This will ensure the sunlight falls evenly on the face, making it appear more even. Location: Beijing - China Garden Museum. Recommended Outfit: Neo-Chinese, Cheongsam. Visit Guide: 1. Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00-17:00 (last entry at 15:30, indoor exhibits close at 16:30, closed on Mondays). Plan your visit time accordingly. 2.
