Photography Tips

Use a straight-on angle, standing parallel to the display window, ensuring the image is level. Center the composition, placing the entire display window in the center of the frame, with the "Golden List" and "Bridal Chamber" lighted signs symmetrically positioned on either side to enhance balance. The framing should include the red wall, interior decorations of the display window, and the top lighting to highlight the thematic details. Additional tips: Prioritize shooting in the side alleys of the hutong, as they have fewer people and better preserve the original hutong ambiance. For main streets, opt for shooting from the steps or doorframes of shops to minimize clutter in the background.
