1. Positioning: The model should stand slightly to the left of the center of the crosswalk. The photographer should maintain a distance of 1.5-2 meters from the model, crouch slightly, and shoot upward to emphasize the depth of the tunnel.
2. Composition: Use the tunnel’s ceiling lights to create leading lines, guiding the viewer’s eye deeper into the image and adding layers to the shot.
3. Lens Focal Length: Use a 35mm or 50mm lens for a camera, or a 1x or 2x focal length on a phone, to ensure depth in the background and clear focus on the subject.
4. Equipment Settings: Fuji XT5, lens XF 27mm f2.8.
5. Pose: Capturing the model as they turn back while walking forward adds a dynamic feel to the photo.
6. Travel Tips: No admission fee is required.
7. Props: Holding a bottle of beer or cola can add a cinematic feel to the photo.
8. Outfit Recommendations: A gray overcoat with a bright-colored scarf is recommended for a more photogenic look.
9. Additional Tips:
① Avoid peak traffic hours. Since there is no sidewalk, walk on the non-motorized vehicle lane for safety.
② For night shoots, it's advisable to go with a partner. Follow tunnel management rules and confirm any no-photography zones in advance.
