Photography Tips
The model stands in front of a mirror, slightly turned to the side, while the photographer shoots at a low angle with the camera positioned at the height of the model's waist, 3 meters away. The composition is centered, with the subject placed at the center of the frame to enhance the depth and interest of the shot. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to moderately compress the space, highlighting the details of the subject and the environment. 1. Photography Poses: ① The model stands next to the mirror, holding a prop book. ② Capture a side shot of the model flipping through the book, ensuring the pages fall naturally. ③ The model holds a vintage leather suitcase and leans against a bookshelf to create an atmospheric feel. 2. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free. ② Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday, 13:00-19:00. 3. Outfit Suggestions: A khaki trench coat, a plaid vest, or a vintage dress paired with Oxford shoes for a more retro look in photos. 4. Props: Recommended props include a book and a vintage leather suitcase (available to borrow from the store owner).
