Use wall signs to assist in composition, leveraging the alley space to highlight the integration of the person with the distinctive signs. The person should be the main subject, while the signs serve as the secondary elements. The person's posture should be natural, and the signs should be colorful and densely arranged, creating a strong sense of local cultural atmosphere. The frame should not have too much negative space, focusing on the subject and the signs.

Shooting Time: It is recommended to choose a sunny day when the light is good, making it easier to get great shots.
