The model is seated on a bench in a traditional Chinese building, while the photographer stands at a side-front position. Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the model is framed by the building’s windows and doors and the greenery in the foreground, placing her at the center of the shot. A wide-angle lens or a 50mm focal length is recommended to capture the model in the middle of the corridor, creating a stark contrast between the figure and the architecture to highlight the harmony between the model and the traditional Chinese building.

Props: The lighting here is quite dim, so use a large aperture or a reflector.
