The model stands close to the red wall, with the photographer positioned about 2 meters away, slightly to the left of the model for a front-on shot, with the camera slightly lower than the model's head. Use the rule of thirds to place the model on the right side of the frame, leaving room on the left for the Beijing Guozijian plaque and part of the red wall. The model points to the plaque with one hand, while the other hand hangs naturally or holds a prop, creating an interactive feel with the environment. 1. **Pose Suggestions**: Choose poses such as pointing at the sign, leaning against the red wall, or holding a prop naturally. 2. **Props**: Consider bringing small props like a camera, handbag, or hat to add depth to the photo. 3. **Travel Tips**: It's best to visit on a sunny day for better lighting; the area around Guozijian is well-connected by metro or bus. 4. **Outfit Recommendations**: Bright or contrasting colors like red, white, or blue work well to create visual contrast with the red wall; traditional or artsy styles are also suitable. 5. **Additional Tips**: Avoid peak tourist hours and choose early morning or late afternoon for softer light; focus on the red wall and glazed tiles, and leave some negative space in the composition to highlight the main elements.
