Photography Tips
Photography Tips: The model should stand on the imperial path in front of the hall, while the photographer stands behind the railing on the hall. Use a 2x or medium telephoto lens for the shoot. Shooting Time: Around 3-5 PM, when the light is excellent. Photography Equipment: Use a Fujifilm XE4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens. Outfit Suggestions: The Taímiào (Imperial Ancestral Temple) has a classic and elegant atmosphere, predominantly red. A simple outfit would be perfect. Posing Tips: You can use a fan that matches your outfit as a prop. If you feel camera-shy, try these foolproof poses: look down at the camera, look up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
