No. 23, Songzhu Temple, North Beach Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing
Photography Tips
Photography Tips: The model sits between two flower pots, and the photographer stands at an arm's length behind the pots, capturing the image with a 2x/medium telephoto lens; the flowers can be used as a blurred foreground to add depth to the shot. Shooting Time: 3-5 PM, when the lighting is more favorable. Equipment: Fujifilm X-E4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens, Ricoh GR3X. Outfit Suggestions: The entire Temple East Scenery is dominated by red tones, so it's best to wear simple dresses; new Chinese styles would also be suitable. Posing Ideas: If unsure about what poses to strike, you can look down at the camera or gaze up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
