The photographer crouches behind the sewer, while the model stands beside the sculpture, looking towards the camera for an eye-level shot. A standard prime lens (35mm) is used to capture the cartoonish police station along with the subjects, while also including the surrounding environment.

Additional tips:
① Use side lighting in the afternoon to accentuate the texture of the columns and the three-dimensional feel of the arches.
② Maintain silence during the shoot as the police station is still in use.
