Shooting Tips: The model should stand in front of the door, and the photographer should position themselves on the lower platform, using a 2x/medium telephoto lens.
Shooting Time: Around 5 PM, when the light is excellent.
Shooting Equipment: Fujifilm XE4 with an 18-50mm f/2.8 lens.
Outfit Suggestions: The Wanshou Temple is overall solemn and primarily red, so a simple outfit is recommended.
Pose Ideas: You can use a fan as a prop to avoid having empty hands. Some versatile poses include looking down at the camera, looking up at the sky, or looking down at the ground.
