Using a symmetrical composition, the two portraits are evenly distributed on either side of the frame, enhancing the sense of balance. The subject stands on the right one-third of the image, facing away from the camera and naturally viewing the portrait. The photographer captures the scene from a level angle, including both the portrait within the display case and the floor, highlighting the exhibition setting. Ensure the main subject is clear and the composition is well-proportioned. Travel Guide: Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last entry at 4:10 PM).
