The photographer shoots from a low angle, placing the main subject, a courtyard house shop, at the bottom of the frame, while dense branches form a natural frame at the top, enhancing the layers of the composition. The scene includes the full view of the shop, a pink chair, and a wicker table at the entrance, with the sky visible through the leaves in the background. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the interplay of light and shadow through the foliage and the details of the shop, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere of the alley.
