The photographer stands directly in front of the calligraphy work, maintaining a perpendicular position to ensure that the frame is neither tilted nor distorted. A symmetrical composition is used, placing the three calligraphy works in the center of the image, with symmetrical distribution on both sides, creating a sense of neatness and balance. A standard lens is employed to faithfully reproduce the details and colors of the works, avoiding the distortion or compression effects that can result from wide-angle or telephoto lenses. 1.
