Maintain a distance of 2-5 meters between the photographer and the subject, using the framework of ancient architecture to compose the shot and integrate the subject into the historical setting. Utilize the slanted light of a clear morning or afternoon to outline the subject's silhouette and the lines of the ancient architecture.

Equipment settings: Turn on the portrait mode on your smartphone, and for a camera, select a 35 - 50mm focal length with an aperture set between f/2.8 - f/4. This will perfectly blend the character and the charm of the ancient architecture, making every shot a classical masterpiece!
