The model stands slightly to the right front of the琉璃花墙 (stained glass flower wall), close to a stone pillar. The photographer shoots from a slightly lower angle, with the camera positioned about 1.5 meters away from the model. It is recommended to use an 85mm lens on a camera or a 2x zoom on a smartphone to compress the space and highlight the subject and background details. 1. **Posing Tips**: Stand in front of the stained glass flower wall. You can slightly turn your body to let the sunlight fall on your face, or use the stained glass flowers as a foreground with the person in the background, smiling, to create depth in the photo. 2. **Timing Tips**: Early in the morning when the venue opens or late in the afternoon just before closing, the light is soft, making for excellent light and shadow effects in photos. 3. **Dress Code**: Wearing simple and elegant traditional or modern clothing can result in great photos.
