Shooting equipment: Fuji XE4 + 18-50mm f/2.8.
Shooting time: Around 3 PM, with great sunlight.
Outfit: The temple is primarily red, so a simple outfit works well. Black, white, and gray are versatile colors.
Poses: You can stand sideways and look at the camera, or you can look away from the camera. Both options are very friendly to the subject.
