The photographer uses the rule of thirds, placing the model on the right one-third of the frame, with her back facing the left corner tower. Her profile is slightly tilted upwards, her hair flowing naturally, and she holds a fur collar to enhance the mood. Maintain a level shooting angle, and the frame should include the snowy scene of the corner tower (red walls and golden rooftops covered in snow), along with the water or snow in the foreground, to highlight the integration of ancient architecture and the figure. It is recommended to use a standard focal length or the 2x zoom on a phone to ensure that the subject and background details are clear.
