The photographer stands slightly below and to the front side of the subject, shooting upward to highlight the main figure and make them more approachable. The left side of the frame is left open to show the background elements such as the lake and railing, balancing the composition and adding a sense of depth. A standard lens is used to naturally capture both the person and the setting, creating a realistic and comfortable visual effect. Travel Tip: Free entry, open all day.
