As shown in the picture, the model stands at the street corner, with the photographer about 4 meters away, capturing from a slightly upward angle to emphasize the grandeur of the drum tower. Be mindful of passing vehicles and pedestrians to maintain a clean frame. Pay attention to balancing the composition of the shot.

It is recommended to use a camera with a wide-angle lens of 16-35mm. Set the focal length to 30mm and the aperture to around f/4. The best time for shooting is in the morning when there are fewer pedestrians.
