Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, position the colorful pavilion corridor as the foreground frame to enhance the depth of the scene. The model should sit in the center of a bench, which is also the center of the frame, and the photographer should shoot from a level angle to highlight the model's dignified posture. The composition should include the foreground corridor, the main subject (the model), and the background of trees and grass, creating a traditional aesthetic. The model should hold a round fan, sit naturally, and perform actions that align with the traditional theme. A wide-angle lens is recommended for this shot.
