The photographer crouches slightly to use a slightly upward angle, with the model standing in front of the Huangqiong Pavilion, slightly off-center. Using the rule of thirds, the roof of the building occupies the top third of the frame, while the model is positioned at the intersection of the left third. The use of a standard lens, with its perspective similar to the human eye, minimizes distortion and accurately represents the scene and the model’s proportions. Travel Tips: You can buy tickets directly. Off-season combo ticket is 28 RMB, and on-season combo ticket is 34 RMB.
