Take advantage of the unique shape of the red building and try different positions (front, side, diagonal, etc.) to show the diverse effects of the integration of architectural lines and human figures. In terms of shooting angles, a low angle can highlight the grandeur of the building and capture the light and shadow of the sun on the building; a level shot is suitable for capturing the overall scene of people, buildings, and the blue sky with high-rise buildings in the background. Dress in a minimalist style, with solid colors or simple patterns, to create a harmonious yet contrasting visual sense with the red building. For lighting, before 10 am and after 5 pm are the best, with soft light that gives the red building more texture; although the light at noon is strong, it can produce a strong contrast of light and shadow.

Photography poses:
① Stand to the side of the building, with one hand naturally resting on the red structure, lean back slightly, and raise the other hand to lightly touch the forehead, as if looking into the distance, allowing the figure to naturally interact with the architectural structure;
② Face away from the building, with feet shoulder-width apart, and raise both hands up, using the staggered lines of the building as a backdrop to capture a dynamic sense of freedom and tension;
③ Close to the entrance of the building, stand sideways, with one foot slightly extended forward, hands in pockets or gently pulling the corners of the clothes, and look diagonally up to the camera, creating a casual and relaxed feeling.

Utilize the lines and openwork of the red architecture to try different poses (standing straight, casually leaning, lightly tiptoeing, etc.), showcasing a variety of styles. In terms of shooting angles, a low-angle shot can highlight the extension and thickness of the red walls, while a flat shot restores the overall atmosphere of the scene; opt for simple basic clothing, black, white, and gray to match the passionate tone of the red walls without overshadowing the architectural features. For lighting, it is suggested to choose before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m., when the light is soft, resulting in a rich texture of the red walls and a natural skin tone in the photos, easily capturing the unique charm of the blend of ancient and modern.

Photo poses:

1. Stand sideways, with the hand closest to the camera gently resting on the red wall, and the other hand naturally hanging down or making a small movement (such as lightly brushing hair, making a simple gesture), with legs slightly apart or staggered, allowing the figure to naturally blend into the red wall background.

2. Slightly bend one leg, with the foot lightly against the base of the wall, body slightly inclined to the side, one hand propped on the hollow part of the wall, the other hand gently raised upward, gaze following the raised hand into the distance, enhancing the sense of interaction with the red wall space.

3. Stand facing forward, with hands naturally hanging down or lightly placed in trouser pockets, slightly tilt the head back, allowing the facial lines to extend along with the red wall, using the regularity of the red wall to create a relaxed atmosphere with a sense of story.
