Use a straight-on angle with the subjects centered in the frame, engaging in natural and interactive poses—one person sitting on the ground with arms spread wide, and another standing and holding hands. This adds vitality to the scene. Employ leading lines by using the extending walls of the Great Wall to guide the viewer’s eye to the background watchtower and mountain forest, while incorporating the stone pavement in the foreground to add depth. Recommend using a wide-angle lens to capture the integration of the Great Wall's environment with the main subjects.
