Use the eaves above as a foreground frame to highlight the model and the ancient architecture in the center. The photographer should shoot from a low angle, slightly looking up, with the model positioned at the right one-third of the frame, holding a hat and standing sideways with a natural pose. The composition should include the eaves of the ancient building, yellow walls, and a red signboard. Shooting Time: It is recommended to shoot on an overcast or rainy day for a more atmospheric feel.
