Photography Tips
The model is positioned at the left one-third of the frame, with the stone lion on the right, using the rule of thirds to highlight the interaction between the person and the sculpture. The model has her hands together in a natural and reverent pose, facing the lion, which adds a narrative element to the image. The background incorporates the eaves and plaque of the temple, preserving the details of the ancient architecture. A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the background, making the texture and expression of the stone lion clearer.
