Photography Tips
Shooting Tips: Position the model in front of the red wall, with the photographer standing two arm lengths away, using a 2x/medium telephoto lens. Shooting Time: 15:00-17:00, when the outdoor light is better. Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 + 18-50mm f2.8. Outfit Suggestions: The Forbidden City’s overall red walls and gray tiles create a solemn atmosphere, making it perfect for Hanfu and modern Chinese style clothing. Simple, everyday outfits also work well. Posing Suggestions: If unsure about poses, the model can look down at the camera, look up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
