1. Positioning: The model stands behind the postcard rack, slightly turned toward the camera, while the photographer stands directly in front, slightly to the right, for a natural perspective. 2. Composition: Use a frame-within-a-frame technique, utilizing the postcard rack and surrounding decorations to create a rich foreground that highlights the environment. 3. Scenic Range: The background should include vintage-style walls, decorative paintings, and wooden shelves to enhance the sense of space and cultural atmosphere. 4. Lens Focal Length: Use a 35mm-50mm focal length (1x-2x on a phone) to retain environmental details while still emphasizing the subject. Travel Tips: The hutong is free, but some stores require a purchase to take photos. The recommended shooting time is 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
