The model stands by the railing of Tiren Pavilion. The photographer should position themselves slightly below the model’s eye level to shoot upwards, emphasizing the grandeur of Taihedian. Avoid shooting head-on; place Taihedian in the upper right corner of the frame and the model in the lower left to create a balanced composition. It’s recommended to avoid using a large aperture and instead opt for a wide-angle lens, setting the aperture to f8. Shooting Time: It’s recommended to shoot during the day.
