Use a straight-on angle with a central composition, placing the subject in the middle of the frame. Keep the grey tile roof at the top and use the red wall as the background at the bottom, creating a sense of balance with the matching upper and lower parts. The photographer should shoot from a straight-on angle, including the red wall, tile roof, and a small amount of branches and blue sky above to enrich the environmental layers. The model stands sideways against the wall, with hair naturally flowing and looking to one side with a relaxed and natural pose. Additional tip: It is recommended to take photos on a sunny day for exceptional results.

The photographer slightly squats down to take a low-level shot, creating a sense of spaciousness and highlighting the extension of the pear blossom tree. By using a frame composition, the branches and eaves are used as a picture frame to enclose the Galaxy SOHO in the distance. The foreground is adorned with pear blossom branches, and the background retains the fusion and contrast of traditional and modern architecture, enhancing the story and layering of the image. The focal length of the camera lens is set to 35mm/smartphone 1x, ensuring that both the environment and the subjects are clearly presented.

Photographers should position themselves at street level in the alleyways, capturing a horizontal viewpoint that includes pedestrians, architecture, greenery, and the sky, highlighting the everyday feel and natural integration of life in the alleyways. Utilize the alley paths as a guide, with pedestrians and greenery as the visual focus, to enhance the sense of depth and the vibrancy of life in the image. Capture the colors (blue sky, greenery, buildings) and light and shadow layers of the alleyways using natural light, conveying a sense of "urban slow life" and "healing from old streets," emphasizing the unique charm of the alleyway landscape.

Best time for photography: It is recommended to shoot on sunny days when the lighting is better for producing high-quality images.
