Photography Tips
1. Positioning Angle: The model stands in the center of the archway, with the photographer maintaining a distance of about 3 meters from the model. Shoot horizontally, avoiding clutter around the camera position to keep the frame clean. 2. Composition Technique: Use symmetrical composition, with the archway as the frame and the model placed at the center of the frame to highlight the subject. 3. Lens Recommendation: It is suggested to use a 50mm focal length/smartphone 1x-2x to avoid excessive background compression, with an aperture setting between 2.8 - 3.5 to retain architectural details. Shooting Advice: It is recommended to visit and shoot during the daytime.
