The model stands in front of the red wall, and the photographer stands at a distance of two arm lengths, capturing the shot with a 1x/wide-angle lens. Note that when photographing at night, the subject may appear darker, so a flash or fill light can be used to provide additional lighting.

Shooting time: around 20:00 PM (half an hour after sunset).

Photography equipment: Fujifilm X-E4 with an 18-50mm f2.8 lens.

Outfit suggestion: The main lighting for the Drum Tower night scene is warm yellow light reflecting off the red walls, so a simple outfit will suffice.

Photo pose suggestions: Holding a candied hawthorn on a stick as a prop can add a strong sense of Beijing's atmosphere; if unsure about what pose to strike, one can look down at the camera or look up at the sky.
