The photographer uses a level shooting angle and a centered composition, placing the main subject, the emperor’s portrait, in the center of the frame to emphasize dignity and completeness. The framing should include the entire portrait, from the head to the base of the throne, with the background limited to the light-colored areas of the portrait itself, avoiding any extraneous elements. Travel Tip: It is recommended to visit on a sunny day.
