Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
This indoor location at Shanghai Himalayas Museum is great all months of the year!
You can photograph any time during the day, but to get a similar shot, I recommend going to this location late afternoon when the sun isn't too bright.

Field tips

Always be careful where you position yourself, watch out for the escalator and other museum visitors passing through.
Use a wide lens and position yourself in between the escalators to have the lines lead toward your subject. On the first floor, below you, center your model in a symmetrical way.
Get creative and don't be scared to experiment with the lines at different vertical angles. Take as many shots as you want and see which ones you like best.
