Photography Tips
The photographer stands on a higher step above the model and shoots from an overhead angle. The composition uses leading lines, with the stairs and the Great Wall's extending lines guiding the viewer's gaze to the distant mountains. The model is positioned slightly below the center of the frame, sidestepping while holding the stair railing and giving a V-sign with a smile, creating a natural and energetic pose. The shot includes the foreground railing, the winding wall of the Great Wall, and the green mountains in the background. Additional tip: The sloping S-bend between Tower 8 and Tower 9 is a great spot for overhead shots, often resulting in stunning images.
