Photography Tips: Position the model in front of the graffiti wall with the photographer shooting at eye level to capture the person and the complete graffiti in the same frame. Utilize the contrasting colors of the graffiti to highlight the subject; choose close-ups of specific graffiti elements (such as the "dressing room" text, astronaut pattern) with the model standing beside these elements. The distance between the photographer and the model should be 1-2 meters to enhance the sense of trend fusion. The best lighting for vibrant colors is during the afternoon hours of 3-5 PM on a sunny day.

Photography Poses:

Using a circular metal structure as a natural frame, place the model in the center of the composition. The photographer should use a flat shooting angle to ensure the frame is complete and the model stands out. This technique will showcase the depth of the structure. It is recommended to use an ultra-wide-angle focal length.

The photographer is positioned at the bottom of the escalator, using a low-angle shot with the escalator in the center, and the architectural structures on both sides are symmetrically distributed, which enhances the sense of order and depth in the image.

Travel tips: There are many people on weekends and holidays, it is recommended to avoid peak times.

Olympic Center – escalator & art wall

Position yourself under the escalator and use a wide-angle lens to capture the sense of extension by looking up. Pay attention to the symmetry and alignment of the shot, ensuring horizontal lines are level and vertical lines are straight. For another shot, take a pure upward angle with a focal length of about 14mm.

Make the most of light contrast in your photography. The best time to shoot is during the morning or afternoon when light enters the venue.

Using leading lines to compose the shot, the flow of light from the traffic below naturally extends, guiding the viewer's attention to the central cluster of buildings. The photographer utilizes a level shooting angle, capturing the road, trees on both sides, and the high-rise buildings in the background, showcasing the layers of the city's night scene.

Additional suggestions: Check the weather forecast before traveling.

Olympic Center – night repeat

Recommend using a wide-angle lens. Employ symmetrical composition, with the architectural structures on both sides symmetrically distributed, and the escalator in the middle serving as a leading line that extends upwards to the blue sky, enhancing the sense of depth. The frame should include the buildings on both sides, the escalator in the middle, and the sky at the top, highlighting the geometric beauty and spatial hierarchy of the architecture.

Equipment specifications: Insta360 One X5 panoramic camera.

Olympic Aquatics – open-air arch shot

Photo Tips:

Standing in front of the graffiti wall: The photographer and model should be 1-2 meters apart, using the vertical lines of the graffiti wall (such as outlines of people or trains) to guide the viewer's gaze. Shoot at eye level to allow the person to blend completely with the graffiti. If you want to emphasize light and shadow, choose a time when the sunlight is slanting (such as in the afternoon) to let the wall's shadows enrich the picture's layers.

Using containers for interaction: With the container next to the graffiti wall as the foreground, have the model stand in front of the wall while the photographer is on one side of the container. Shoot through the gaps in the box to add interest to the picture and create a sense of "exploration" on the street.

Photo poses:

Standing in front of the graffiti wall: Hold both hands in a "V" shape on both sides of the cheeks, and sway the body slightly to convey a youthful and lively vibe.

Leaning on the graffiti character: Gently rest one hand on the skirt of the graffiti character, stand sideways to the camera, and look diagonally ahead.

On tiptoe: Stand near the side of the container and slightly lift one leg, with one hand in the pocket and the other hanging naturally, exuding a cool and casual attitude.

Photography Tips

Utilize the silhouette elements of the perforated board wall to create an artistic resonance. The photographer can shoot at eye level, allowing the interaction between the subject and the silhouette to be playful; stand on the side of the board wall, with urban architecture as the background, and have the model stand close to the wall. Using a mid-range lens, the photographer can highlight the details of the board wall and the fusion with the subject. When the light is bright (such as on a sunny afternoon), the transparency created by the light passing through the perforations can produce more striking images.

Posing Ideas

• Stand with feet together, hands clasped behind the back, naturally touching the board wall, creating an innocent and collegiate style;

• Bend one leg slightly, gently pull a strand of hair with one hand, lean against the board wall with the body, creating a lively and playful vibe.
