1. Composition: Use a frame-within-a-frame technique, with the doorframe serving as the border to highlight the subject and add depth to the image. 2. Positioning: The model stands slightly to the right of the center of the doorway, while the photographer shoots from a slightly lower angle to control the proportion between the model and the background architecture. 3. Framing: The background includes the eaves and courtyard of the Forbidden City, while the foreground focuses on the doorframe to enhance symmetry and depth. 4. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 50mm lens or the 1x setting on a smartphone to ensure the subject is clear and the background architecture is not overly compressed.
