The model leans against the railing, and the photographer shoots from about half a meter away, slightly tilting upward, capturing the castle in the background.

1. Equipment: Sony ZV-E1, Fujifilm XT4.
2. Outfit Suggestions: We recommend wearing a magic robe that fits the park's theme.
3. Other Tips: Photos can be taken here during the day or at night during the light show. If shooting at night, additional lighting is needed. Previously, you could enter from the outdoor area's exit, but now it's closed off with a warning line, so you must enter from the restaurant.

We recommend wearing Hogwarts-themed outfits, such as a house scarf, robe, or school uniform-style clothing, with colors that complement the background. When shooting, avoid peak hours and choose early morning or evening for softer light. Try shooting from different angles to highlight the grandeur of the castle. You can hold a wand and perform a spell, or hold a book and pose as if reading or casting a spell, with the Hogwarts Castle as the main backdrop. Props like wands, books, house scarves, or robes are highly recommended. Choose a sunny day or a well-lit time to shoot, avoiding backlighting, and plan your route in advance to avoid long lines during peak hours.
