The model stands at the center of a round carved arch, facing away from the photographer, who is positioned at the entrance of the pavilion, about 3 meters from the model, shooting at eye level to include the entire circular arch in the frame. Ensure the composition is centered to highlight the symmetry and beauty of the arch. Use a 50mm lens on a camera or the 2x zoom on a phone to compress the space, making the model and the background rockery appear more closely connected.
