Photography Tips
The model stands beside a street lamp, with the city tower in the background. The photographer, about 1.5 meters away from the model, squats halfway and shoots upwards to capture the entire city tower and sky in the frame using the rule of thirds. The model is placed at the right third of the image, and the city tower is fully presented in the center of the background, balancing the composition. 1. Equipment settings: The camera aperture can be reduced slightly to get a clearer image of the city wall background. 2. Travel tips: In spring and summer, shooting at this position in the afternoon is with the light. You can choose to shoot in the morning or at noon to avoid the direct light that might cause the model to squint. 3. Dressing advice: It is recommended to wear Hanfu or Warring States period robes for a more atmospheric feel.
