Photography Tips

The photographer used a bird's-eye view angle, placing the model at the center of the frame to highlight the subject. The red walls are included in the background, and the edge of a bench is retained in the foreground. The background is blurred to emphasize the detailed clothing and the ancient ambiance of the subject. Travel Guide: 1.
