The model should stand beside the window without blocking it, allowing for a clear view of the bustling Qianmen Street outside. This area is backlit, so it's recommended to capture the model’s back and side profile.

Photography Equipment: Fuji XH2s with an 18-55mm lens.

Poses:
1. Face away from the camera with one hand on the window to highlight the model’s presence.
2. Lean against the window from the side to capture the facial profile.

Admission: Free (0 RMB). You need to book in advance on the Beijing Central Axis Heritage Protection Center's WeChat official account, with slots released daily at 5:00 PM, 7 days in advance.

Additional Tips: You can bring your phone and camera, but other items must be stored at the security checkpoint at the North Gate.
