The photographer is positioned below and to the side of the model, shooting upward to capture both the figure and the eaves of the ancient building. A vertical line composition is used, emphasizing the depth of the scene with the vertical lines of the eaves. A wide-angle lens is employed to include more of the eaves and background, highlighting the grandeur of the architecture and the interaction between the figure and the building. Additional tips: 1. Shoot between 9-11 AM or 3-5 PM. 2. Morning light is soft and can bring out the texture and color of the glazed tiles. 3. You can also shoot after the rain, as the wet tiles will appear even more vivid.
