1. Perspective: The photographer uses a level angle to capture the complete posture of the person leaning against the wall, as well as environmental details such as the red wall and street features.

2. Composition technique: By employing a central composition method, the subject is placed at the center of the frame, with the red wall and street railings creating a simple background that highlights the main figure. Additionally, the subject's body movements serve as visual focal points to guide the viewer's attention within the image.

3. Lens usage: A mid to long focal length lens is used to compress the spatial distance, delicately depicting the texture of the subject's clothing and hair details, while retaining environmental information from the background streets. This balances the representation of the subject and the scene within the frame.

Additional tips: The golden hour is one hour before sunset, which is ideal for shooting the drum tower against the backlight and capturing sunsets, which are both very beautiful. Avoid harsh midday overhead light, as the resulting shadows can be too rigid and difficult to produce good images.

Camera Angle: The photographer's standing height should be roughly level with the line of sight under the corridor's eaves. The pillars of the corridor and the wooden structure above form a natural frame, encapsulating the scenery of the courtyard within.
