1. Central Upward Angle Composition:
• Position the subject at the center under the bridge, and shoot from below using a wide-angle or standard lens. The metal structure of the bridge will frame the subject, creating a visual tension of "me amidst the steel jungle."

2. Diagonal Street Scene Integration:
• Stand beside the bridge or at an angle in front, and compose the shot so that the tracks and the person form a diagonal line. This not only serves as a leading line but also captures the dynamic background of Shibuya.
• Capture the moment when a train passes, using a slow shutter speed to create a trailing effect of the light rail while the person remains still, creating a city atmosphere that juxtaposes "fast and slow."
• As the person walks from under the bridge to the street, use a wide shot to record their silhouette, capturing a solitary and determined stride within the space framed by steel girders and streetlights.
