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.
