The photographer stands diagonally to the side of the model, maintaining a certain distance from the subject, and captures the overall posture of the person in the ancient architectural environment from a level perspective. By using leading line composition, the lines formed by the red pillars guide the viewer's gaze towards the person; it is recommended to use a telephoto lens on the camera to clearly present the details of the person's attire and the texture of the ancient architecture, ensuring a natural picture ratio without excessive compression or stretching of space.
