The photographer stands below the stone steps, using a low-angle shot, and it is recommended to use a wide-angle lens. Compose with leading lines, allowing the stone steps to extend from the lower left corner to the pavilion in the center of the frame, guiding the viewer's gaze towards the main subject. The frame should include the foreground stone steps, the middle ground pavilion, the inscriptions on the mountain wall on the right, and the sky above, with trees on the left to enhance the sense of depth and balance the elements on both sides of the image.

The model stands slightly sideways in front of the sculpture, facing away from the camera with arms naturally spread, creating an interactive feeling with the sculpture. The photographer shoots horizontally 3 meters away, with the figure centered in the frame, ensuring the full view of the sculpture is in the middle. Use a wide-angle/cellphone 1x (camera focal length 24-70mm at 40mm, aperture 4), framing to include the patterns on the sculpture's base and the blue sky background. Pay attention to avoid pedestrians and prevent image distortion, and it is recommended to shoot around 11 in the morning.

Use the rule of thirds for composition, with the model positioned at the right one-third of the frame, leaving space on the left for the red prayer ribbons and green leaves to balance the image. Include hanging red prayer ribbons and green leaves in the foreground to add depth, and capture the continuous mountain scenery in the background to showcase the viewing platform environment. For the photo pose: the model leans against the railing and looks into the distance with a natural and relaxed posture.
