The photographer stands at a high vantage point and shoots downward, centering the shot vertically on the center of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) array to ensure the pattern is complete and symmetrical. Use a centered composition, with the circular design of the Bagua as the main visual focus, and place the people slightly off-center at the bottom to add depth to the frame. Recommended equipment includes a 24mm wide-angle lens or the 1x focal length on a smartphone to capture the entire Bagua pattern and the light and shadow effects. Camera settings: Use a Sony a7m4 camera with either the Yalu 27mm or 2.8mm autofocus lens. Enable APS-C mode to avoid black borders around the edges of the frame.
