The model is positioned slightly to the right of the center of the frame. The photographer uses a low-angle shot to emphasize the grandeur of the Wu Gate and the red walls in the background. The composition follows the rule of thirds and leverages the symmetrical structure of the red walls to enhance balance. The night view of the gate, the red walls, and the stone pavement are all included, with the walls extending to both sides. A wide-angle lens is recommended for this shot. The model’s hand is raised to adjust her glasses, and her head is slightly tilted, creating a natural and interactive pose. When shooting at night, pay attention to balancing the brightness between the subject and the background. Other tips: Avoid peak hours to minimize crowds.
