1. Positioning: The model should stand facing the camera, with the photographer squatting slightly to shoot at eye level, ensuring the model is centered with the Forbidden City architecture to highlight the symmetry. 2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds, placing the Forbidden City architecture in the top third of the frame and the model in the center to enhance visual balance. 3. Lens Usage: A 50mm focal length is recommended to moderately compress the background and emphasize the relationship between the subject and the architecture. Additional Tips: The Palace Museum is quite large, so it's advisable to allocate a full morning and part of the afternoon.
