Photographers can try shooting from a low angle to include architecture and sky, enhancing the street vibe; use the fence as a foreground frame with the model standing 2-3 meters in front of the graffiti wall, allowing the details of the graffiti to naturally blend with the person. In sunny weather, the direct light makes the color contrast more striking. Photo Poses: - Rest one arm on the fence, slightly lean your body towards the fence, and let the other hand naturally dangle, creating a lazy and casual look; - Stand beside the fence, lightly place one foot on the horizontal bar of the fence, and put both hands at your sides, showing playfulness and vitality; - Hold onto the fence with both hands, lean back, face away from the camera, and look at the graffiti wall.
