1. Positioning Angle: The photographer stands directly below the archway, shooting from a low angle with the camera slightly lower than the center of the archway. This highlights the layered effect of the red lanterns and the solemnity of the archway.

2. Composition Method: A symmetrical composition is used, with the archway and the hanging lanterns centered to create a sense of balance in the frame. The vertical lines of the lanterns are also used to guide the viewer's gaze.

3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a camera with a focal length of 24-35mm, or a smartphone in 1x mode for photography. This ensures that both the depth of the lanterns and the details of the archway are captured effectively.
