The model stands beside a road sign while the photographer steps back to take photos. 1. Equipment: Fujifilm XH2S, lens 18-55mm. 2. Posing Suggestions: ① Arms crossed, leaning against the pole, looking to the side. ② Back against the pole, looking into the distance. ③ Facing the camera, holding the pole, leaning to the side. ④ Side on to the camera, holding the pole, leaning back with the head slightly lowered. 3. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free, but usually requires queuing for about 4-5 minutes. ② Best Time to Shoot: It can get crowded, so it's best to go in the morning when there are fewer people. After 2:00 PM, it gets busier, and weekends are the busiest times to avoid. 4. Outfit Suggestions: ① Vintage Chic: Khaki trench coat + turtleneck sweater + straight-leg jeans + combat boots, paired with a leather tote bag, perfect for the nostalgic atmosphere of the Drum Tower Street. ② Street Cool: Black leather jacket + hooded sweatshirt + cargo pants + dad sneakers, add silver necklaces or a baseball cap for details, great for blending modern and old architecture. ③ Gentle Winter: Oatmeal wool coat + beige knit skirt + snow boots, paired with a fluffy scarf and a coffee cup, creating a warm and soothing street style. ④ Hanfu.
