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.
