Models can interact with the landmarks as shown in the photo, reaching out to touch and echoing the architectural silhouette with their body posture.

Photographers can use a medium focal length (such as 35-50mm) to retain the overall texture of the wall, and set the aperture at f/3.2-f/5 to capture the unique moment of being in the same frame with Xi'an's landmarks.

Yu·Jianshan – Xi’an Lettering Wall

Like the character in the picture, you can walk and stop naturally in the "STOP" sign area to show a casual and relaxed feeling. The photographer can choose a low-angle shot to fully present the compositional beauty of the character, the ground sign, and the surrounding environment; a flat angle can be used to capture the character's movement; a side shot can highlight the depth of the street scene.

For mobile phones, use Portrait/Professional mode, with a 24-70mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and an aperture of f/2.8-f/4 to blur the background; for cameras, use a 50mm prime lens for close-ups, with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of around 1/200s, and an ISO of 200-400 for a clear and textured image.

Yu·Jianshan – Graffiti Street

Emulate the postures of the figures in the image, using the poster wall as a backdrop, with arms crossed and side profiles to create a casual yet assertive vibe. A photographer's eye-level angle will fully showcase the fashion sense of the person and poster in the same frame; an upward shot that includes the sky highlights the spaciousness of the venue and the fusion of trendy elements; a downward shot captures the symmetrical beauty of the composition between the person and the poster.

For smartphones, use portrait or professional mode, with a professional mode selecting an equivalent focal length of 24-70mm, and an aperture of f/2.8 - f/4 to blur the background; for cameras, use a 50mm prime lens for close-ups, with an aperture of f/2.8, a shutter speed of around 1/200s, and an ISO sensitivity of 200 - 400.

Models can interact by imitating the poses of the wall paintings, as shown in the image with hands pressed together. The photographer should be positioned directly in front, ensuring a full composition with a level camera position.

The photographer should use a mid-range lens (such as 35 - 50mm) to capture the texture of the wall and the national trend elements. Set the aperture to f/3 - f/4.5 to freeze the moment that blends ancient charm with modern fashion.

Yu·Jianshan – Nezha Calligraphy Wall

Photographers can use a medium focal length (such as 35-50mm), with an aperture of f/2.8-f/4, to blur the background and highlight the subject, easily capturing a fashion-forward shot.

The photographer is positioned to the side and slightly in front of the model, capturing the scene from a flat perspective. In terms of composition, the central composition method is used, placing the person at the center of the frame to make them the focal point of the visual field. At the same time, the foreground composition is utilized, with the nearby branches of the purple-leaf plum blossoms serving as the foreground.
