Photography Tips
Shooting Tips: The model should stand in front of the railing, and the photographer should stand two arm's lengths away, using a 2x/medium telephoto lens. Shooting Time: 3-5 PM, when the outdoor light is better. Shooting Equipment: Fujifilm XE4 + 18-50mm f/2.8. Outfit Suggestions: The overall red walls and dark tiles of the Forbidden City create a solemn and majestic atmosphere, making it very suitable for traditional Hanfu or modern Chinese-style clothing. Simple, everyday attire also works well. Posing Tips: If you’re unsure about poses, you can look down at the camera, look up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
