Shooting Tips: The model should stand by the window, and the photographer should stand about two arm's lengths away, using a 1x/ wide-angle lens.
Shooting Time: Around 5 PM, when the light is ideal.
Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens.
Outfit Suggestions: The Wanshou Temple is overall solemn and mainly red, so a simple outfit is recommended.
Posing Tips: Bring a fan as a prop to avoid having empty hands. Some universal poses include looking down at the camera, looking up at the sky, or looking down at the ground.
