The model stands to the right of the "I Miss You" sign at the Temple of Heaven, with a straight-on angle. The person should be centered in the frame, using a centered composition. The background should include the colorful umbrella wall and some trees to enhance the environment's atmosphere. The model should stand naturally and can look towards the sign to increase interaction. It's recommended to use a wide-angle or 1x phone lens to ensure the sign, umbrella wall, and the person are all in the frame. Travel Tips: Adult tickets cost 34 RMB per person. Minors and seniors can enter the park directly with their ID.

The model stands on the first step of the stairs, and the photographer stands about 2 meters away, capturing the entire staircase to create a sense of depth in the shot. Stand on the middle step and turn your head to look down. Sit on the middle part of the stairs, place your hands on your knees, and look back naturally. Walk up the stairs and capture the moment when the skirt flutters on the third step.

Standing at an angle to the stone lions and the corner tower, you can capture their side profiles and three-dimensional quality, adding depth to the scene and incorporating some of the surrounding elements. Use the rule of thirds to divide the frame into a grid, placing the stone lions, the corner tower, and the sky along the grid lines or at the intersection points. This will create a more balanced and harmonious composition, enhancing the visual layers. A standard lens is recommended for this shot.
