Photography Tips
1. Positioning Angle: The model stands against the screen wall, and the photographer shoots at eye level with a slightly leftward camera position to avoid the rigidity of a direct composition. 2. Composition Method: Use a centered composition, with the decorative patterns on the screen wall as the visual center of the image, and the model positioned slightly lower to create balance. 3. Lens Focal Length: It is recommended to use a 50mm (camera) or 2x (phone) focal length to compress the picture space and highlight the coordination between the screen wall details and the person. 4. Frame Range: The background should fully display the screen wall decorations, avoiding too many surrounding cluttered elements, and highlight the classical beauty of the subject and background. 1. Shooting Equipment: It is recommended to use a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. 2. Travel Tips: The Forbidden City tickets need to be booked online 7 days in advance, with a price of 40 yuan per ticket during the off-season and 60 yuan per ticket during the peak season.
