The photographer shoots from a side-back perspective at eye level, using a contrast composition. The model's beige coat and light yellow innerwear contrast with the blue tiles and white stones of the ancient architecture. The rule of thirds is applied, placing the model on the left one-third of the frame to highlight the subject and balance the composition. Foreground elements, such as stone architectural components, are used to add depth to the scene. A medium-telephoto lens is utilized to blur the background, emphasizing the subject and compressing the space to create a tighter relationship between the model and the ancient building.

The Temple of Heaven - The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is photographed with the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
