Photography Tips

Using a level shot, position the model at the one-third mark on the right side of the frame to balance the person with the ancient architecture. The composition should include red walls, golden rooftops, and falling snow to highlight the snowy atmosphere of the Forbidden City. The model should raise her hand to gently catch a snowflake, adding a natural and storytelling element to the scene. Compress the background to emphasize the main subject and the architectural details.
