The model is positioned slightly to the right of center, with the photographer shooting at eye level, using the rule of thirds for composition. The left side of the frame is left empty to showcase the red walls and snow-covered roofs of the Forbidden City, balancing the composition. The scene includes the red walls, rooftops, and the snowy foreground, enhancing the atmosphere. The model stands sideways, with her head slightly turned, in a natural pose. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture both the details of the model and the full extent of the background architecture.
