Use a framework composition, with the indoor window frame as the foreground frame, incorporating the ginkgo leaves outside the window and the building on the right into the picture. The photographer stands by the window and shoots at eye level to ensure the window frame is vertical and stable. The frame includes the entire window frame, the main ginkgo leaves, and part of the background building to enhance the sense of depth. Travel tips: It's recommended to go in the morning; there are really, really too many people in the afternoon... If you don't arrive before noon, it's suggested to first go to the first floor to shoot under the ginkgo tree, then go to the second floor to shoot by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

1. Positioning Perspective: The photographer should stand at a certain distance from the subject and slightly higher, positioned diagonally in front of the person, using a combination of a downward and level angle.

2. Frame Composition: The person is the absolute main subject, located at the center of the frame. The person's fur tone contrasts harmoniously with the golden background leaves.

3. Lens Recommendation: Using a medium telephoto lens can compress space, making the background leaves appear more compact, forming a beautiful background curtain.

Shooting Time: Avoid the morning when there are the most people and the light is the best. Before 4 PM in the afternoon, there are relatively fewer people.
