Photography Tips
The photographer stands on a high platform, while the model stands at a considerable distance by the red wall, capturing the large scene from a high and distant perspective. 1. Equipment settings: Fujifilm X-H2S camera, 18-55mm lens. 2. Photography poses: ① Walk boldly along the wall edge for a candid shot; ② Stand at the midpoint of the wall side, facing the sunlight, with hands in motion as if playing with hair, clasped in front, or hands in pockets; ③ Lean against the wall with arms crossed in front, looking sideways towards the light. 3. Admission prices: Main gate 2 yuan, Fangze Altar 5 yuan. 4. Suggested shooting time: Between 15:00 and 16:00 in the afternoon is ideal, as the sunlight is golden and soft on the face, resulting in a better image effect.
