Photography Tips
The model is standing in the corner of a stone railing, with the photographer below, shooting upward. The composition should include a corner of the Jiqu Men (戟门) and a corner of the adjacent building, and it's important to include the surrounding greenery to enrich the entire composition. Equipment settings: Fuji XH2S, lens 18-55mm. Posing instructions: 1. The model should lean against the stone railing, face turned to the left, with hands resting on the railing; there should be light coming from the left side. 2. The model should stand with a quarter-turn to the side, one hand resting on the railing, looking forward. Ticket price: 2 RMB per person. If you want to enter the inner hall, it's 10 RMB per person. It's recommended to book tickets a day in advance on Meituan, as there are usually queues at the entrance.
