Use a centered composition with the bronze door knocker at the center of the frame, highlighting the lion's head carving. The photographer should shoot straight on, standing directly in front of the door knocker at eye level. The frame should include the red door panel as the background, with a portion of the gray brick wall on the right to add depth to the environment. A telephoto lens is recommended to compress the background and focus on the detailed close-up of the door knocker, showcasing its texture.
