Museum lighting may be dim or uneven; try to find soft natural light or utilize exhibition lighting to avoid damaging artifacts with flash. Choose less crowded times for photography or cleverly use angles to avoid other visitors, making the image cleaner. Compose to match the Western Han Dynasty court dance and music theme displayed by the dancing figurines, and try to capture the atmosphere of the playing and dancing scenes presented by the groups of figurines. The photographer should stand in front of the display case and shoot at eye level. Use central composition to place the dancing figurines at the center of the frame to highlight the subject, while using the distribution of the figurines to create visual guidance and show the full scene. Use a mid-range lens to clearly present the posture, shape, and other details of the dancing figurines, restoring the exhibition atmosphere.
