Photography Tips
The photographer uses an upward angle to capture the red walls and rooftops of the Forbidden City, framing the shot with traditional yellow tiled roofs in the foreground and modern skyscrapers in the background, forming a contrast between ancient and modern. The central composition places the tallest building in the middle as the visual focal point, while the sky is left open in the background to enhance the depth and layers of the image. Travel Tip: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather with good daylight.
