Photography Tips
1. Shooting Angle: The photographer takes the shot from a slightly lower position at a diagonal front of the subject, looking up. 2. Composition Technique: Use the curved red wall and the curved lines of the staircase railing to guide the viewer's eye movement; place the subject on the left side of the frame to break the symmetry, creating an asymmetrical visual tension. 3. Lens Usage: Employ a wide-angle lens to exaggerate the spatial perspective, making the lines of the staircase and walls appear more extended. 1. Equipment Settings: The shooting equipment is a Fujifilm XT30II camera with an 18-55mm lens. 2. Outfit Recommendation: Opt for black tones, which are elegant, simple, and sophisticated, and complement the style of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, making the photos more visually appealing.
