Using a centered composition, place the Guanyin statue in the center of the frame to highlight its details and overall posture. Shoot from a straight-on angle to fully capture the statue’s seated position. Include the mural and decorative elements behind the statue to enhance the historical atmosphere. Use a medium telephoto lens to compress the background and focus on the textures of the statue’s garments and facial expression. Additional tips: Selfie sticks and tripods are not allowed.
