Use the rule of thirds for composition, placing the subject at the right one-third of the frame, while incorporating the stained glass windows and gold-decorated columns on the left to balance the image. Use a straight-on shooting angle, capturing the wooden bench, blue waistline, and the carved top wall to showcase the layers of the church’s interior structure. The model should naturally raise their head and take a photo to enhance the realism of the scene. A standard focal length is recommended to ensure clear details of both the subject and the background. 1.
