By shooting from a low angle, the photographer should stand at the bottom of the escalator, placing the oval skylight in the center of the frame to highlight the building's symmetry and the interplay of light and shadow. The composition should include the escalator, the skylight, and some of the surrounding lighting elements to add depth and spatial dimension to the image. When shooting, it is recommended to use a standard focal length lens to ensure that the architectural details are clear, adjust the exposure appropriately to avoid overexposure in bright areas, and maintain a visual balance between people and the architecture.
