Recommend using a telephoto lens with a focal length of 70mm or above to capture the model and the road sign in a single frame. Shooting time: It's best to choose the afternoon, around 4:00 PM in winter for portrait photography. By 5:00 PM, the sky starts to darken, and the blue hour in Beijing is more visually appealing. Additional tips: Riding a bicycle can add a sense of urban immersion. It's more grounded if there are vehicles or pedestrians passing by.
