Photographers using a 50mm focal length can create a more layered effect if the model stands to the left or right of the 'Fu' character wall; a full-body shot here will look better and produce more impressive photos. Other tips: There are many shops with stalls on the left side of the 'Fu' character wall, so we try to shoot on the right side to avoid affecting pedestrians and businesses.
