The photographer used a wide-angle lens to fully incorporate the elements of the scene, showcasing the symmetrical composition of green windows on both sides, with stone pillars in the middle to enhance the sense of balance. The red-decorated windows above, the black bicycle below, and the blue "popsicle" sign are set against a stone wall background.

Additional tip: Avoid peak hours and travel off-peak to avoid crowds.

1. Perspective: Shoot from an eye-level angle, with the photographer standing at a moderate distance from the model, possibly a bit further away to capture the vast sea of flowers and the model fully in the frame.

2. Framing: Use the foreground for framing, with a large number of flowers in the foreground creating a natural frame. This not only enhances the depth of the image but also guides the viewer's gaze to the model in the center, highlighting the subject.

3. Lens recommendation: It is suggested to use a medium telephoto lens. Medium telephoto lenses can compress space, making the flowers in the foreground and the trees in the background appear closer, creating a more lush visual effect of the sea of flowers.

The photographer uses a low-angle shot and suggests using a medium to long focal length lens. Leave white space on the right to include the flying pigeons, which balances the frame and adds a sense of movement. The composition should include a full view of the rooftop, a blue sky background, and the pigeons, capturing the natural flight of the pigeons.

The photographer stands under the eaves, using a low-angle shot. The composition follows the guiding lines, with the diagonal lines of the eaves extending upwards from the bottom, drawing the viewer's gaze to the sharp top, highlighting the architectural beauty of the ancient building. The frame includes a portion of the eaves, the blue sky in the background, and the foreground leaves on the left, adding depth to the image.

1. Use the road sign as the midground and the building as the background to create a clear sense of depth in the photo.

1. Equipment settings: Fujifilm XT30II with an 18-55mm lens.
2. Photo poses:
   ① Have the model interact with the road sign.
