Photography Tips

The model stands on the east side of the corner, and the photographer shoots from west to east, capturing the palace in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, making sure to include the frozen river surface. 1. Equipment settings: Fuji XH2S, lens 18-55. 2. Travel tips: ① Ticket price: Free, no need to enter the Forbidden City. If you plan to visit the Forbidden City, you need to make a reservation 7 days in advance through the Palace Museum’s mini program, with a ticket price of $40 per person. ② Shooting time: The afternoon is the perfect time for shooting in the direction of the light. The golden hour is between 15:40 and 16:20, which is particularly beautiful. 3. Fashion suggestions: 1. Classical and elegant style: Choose a Hanfu or a modified cheongsam, paired with simple hairpins or earrings, to complement the red walls and golden tiles of the Forbidden City, capturing a traditional Chinese aesthetic. 2. Minimalist and modern style: Wear a white or beige knitted sweater with high-waisted wide-legged pants, and add a camel-colored coat. This look is understated yet exudes sophistication, perfect for autumn and winter photography. 3. Artistic and fresh style: Pair a light-colored dress with a beret and small leather shoes, and hold a vintage notebook to create a literary atmosphere. 4. Retro and contrasting style: Try deep brick red or dark green sweaters or coats to create a striking contrast with the Forbidden City’s colors, making the photos more eye-catching. 5. Warm and practical style: For winter shooting, choose a long down jacket with a scarf and snow boots, opting for light gray or cream colors.
