The model stands to the right of the stone lion, pointing at it to increase interaction. Use the rule of thirds for composition, with the person positioned at the right one-third of the frame and the stone lion on the left to balance the image. Use a straight-on shooting angle to capture the full view of the stone lion, the red wall, and the background buildings.
