Photography Tips
On the left, incorporate the traditional roof of the Forbidden City as a backdrop to balance the frame. The model should be side-on with hands clasped together, adding a natural and storytelling element. A telephoto lens is recommended to compress the background and highlight the fusion of the subject with the ancient architecture. Additional tips: Avoid peak hours and visit during off-peak times.
