The model stands beside the glass railing, while the photographer shoots from above, slightly elevated from the edge of the terrace. Using the rule of thirds, the model is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, with the left two-thirds showcasing the roof textures of the siheyuan, enhancing the balance and depth of the image. A 24mm focal length or 1x on a smartphone is used, allowing the wide-angle shot to fully capture the roof textures and depth of the siheyuan while retaining the model's details. 1. Pose: The model stands naturally, with one hand on the glass railing, facing the right side of the frame. The pose is simple, harmonizing with the architectural ambiance and enhancing the overall storytelling and aesthetic of the image. 2. Travel Tips: This museum might be lesser-known, so it’s recommended to visit on a Saturday afternoon when there are fewer visitors, providing a better shooting experience.
