Photography Tips
Photography Tips: The model should stand on the steps, while the photographer stands at the ground level behind a tree, using a 1x/wide-angle lens. Shooting Time: Around 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon, when the light is great. Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 with an 18-50mm f/2.8 lens. Outfit Suggestions: The Temple is predominantly red and has a classic, ancient ambiance, so a simple outfit works well. Posing Suggestions: Use a fan that matches your outfit as a prop. If you feel camera-shy, try these universal poses: look down at the camera, look up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
