It is recommended that the photographer position themselves slightly lower and shoot with a slight upward angle to make the subject stand out more in the frame. For composition, using the center composition technique is advised, placing the subject at the center of the frame to draw the viewer’s attention, while the rich background elements serve as complementary elements, adding depth to the photo. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture more of the environment, showcasing the full scene and allowing the viewer to clearly see the calligraphy and painting shop and its surroundings. Additional tips: Photography is not free at the entrance of Song Family Calligraphy and Painting Shop; you need to purchase something from the store. If you are only there to take photos, it might not be worth the trip.
