Use foreground composition by placing the stone lion at the bottom of the frame to enhance depth; position the person on the right one-third of the frame, with hands together facing the stone lion, to simulate an interactive scene; the photographer should shoot from an eye-level angle, capturing the red walls, rooftops of buildings, and trees in the background to preserve the ancient architectural atmosphere. Travel Tip: It’s recommended to visit and shoot around 4 PM on a sunny afternoon for soft lighting.
