The photographer stands on one side of the corridor, slightly lowering the camera position for a level shot of the lamp post, placing it at the center of the frame to create a visual focal point. Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the foreground flowers and trees form a natural frame, enhancing the depth and layering of the image. A standard lens is used to effectively highlight the main subject, the lamp post, along with the background details.
