Using a symmetrical composition, align the calligraphy painting at the top and the embroidered cushion at the bottom, both centered. The background should feature the complete wallpaper pattern. The photographer should shoot from a straight-on angle to ensure the subject is vertically centered and the frame is balanced. The shot should include the full view of the calligraphy painting, the cushion, and the small decorative items on either side, showcasing the overall decoration. A medium telephoto lens is recommended to highlight the details and avoid distortion.
