No. 9, Linzi, Zhong Lou Wan Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing (330 meters northwest from Exit A2 of Shichahai Subway Station)
Photography Tips
The model stands by the roadside, with the photographer positioned at an arm's length away, capturing the shot with a 1x/wide-angle lens. Note that when shooting at night, subjects tend to be darker, so it's advisable to use a flash or fill light to provide additional illumination. Shooting time: Around 8 PM. (Half an hour after sunset) Shooting equipment: Fujifilm X-E4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens. Outfit suggestion: Since the drum tower night scene is mainly illuminated by warm yellow lights against red walls, a simple and minimalist outfit is recommended. Posing tips: Holding a candied hawthorn stick can add a distinctive Beijing vibe; if unsure about what pose to strike, looking down at the camera or gazing up at the sky are good options.
