A medium focal length lens is used to maintain proper proportions and ensure clear details of both the flowers and the ancient buildings.

Travel Tip: It's recommended to visit on a sunny day for better lighting.

The model stands on the steps, while the photographer positions themselves a bit farther away, using a low angle for a level shot. By using a medium to long focal length, the background appears more compact, emphasizing the details of the subject and the architecture. The rule of thirds is applied, placing the model on the right one-third of the frame, with flower branches in the foreground on the left to add depth to the image. A 2x/medium to long focal length lens is used to compress the space, highlighting the integration of the subject with the background.

1. Equipment settings: FUJIFILM XE4 + 18-50mm f/2.8.
2. Shooting poses: The model can look directly at the camera, look up at the sky, or pose in profile, which is also friendly for introverted individuals.
3. Travel tips: It is recommended to shoot around 3:00 PM when the sunlight is more favorable.
4. Outfit suggestions: A simple outfit works well, with light colors being particularly suitable.
