The photographer stands slightly lower than the model, directly in front of them, shooting at eye level to maintain image stability, capturing the "Bell Alley" sign and the model in the same frame. Position the "Bell Alley" sign in the upper left third of the frame, and have the model occupy the right third, enhancing the sense of balance in the image. It is recommended to use a 50mm focal length (1x on a phone) to highlight the subject and the signboard while avoiding a background that distracts the viewer. 1. Equipment settings: 24-70mm f2.8. 2. Travel tips: The best time for shooting is between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM.
