The model stands on the platform, while the photographer is below, placing the subject slightly off-center to create a sense of stability and order in the composition. Using a medium focal length lens, the space is compressed to closely integrate the person with the ancient architecture.

Additional tip: Autumn is the best season for photography in Beijing, as it provides ideal conditions for capturing stunning images.

The model stands under the beauty plum tree. The photographer should crouch slightly and use a level shooting angle to bring the model closer to the tree, highlighting the layers of the flower tree and the integration with the subject. It’s recommended to use a camera with a 50mm-85mm lens or a phone with 2x-3x zoom to compress the space and emphasize the harmony between the subject and the environment.
