Photography Guide | 1933 Old Millfun Shooting Guide

1933 Old Millfun was originally the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, redesigned in 1933 by the famous British designer Balfours, transformed into a creative park, with a building area of about 31.7 thousand square meters, 5 floors, and a reinforced concrete structure. The architecture of 1933 Old Millfun blends Eastern and Western characteristics. The entire building exhibits the style of ancient Roman basilica, while the basic structure of 'square outside and round inside' subtly conforms to the traditional Chinese concept of 'Heaven is round and Earth is square'. Many people know about 1933 Old Millfun because of the movie 'Tiny Times'. The venue is indeed very suitable for shooting portraits, with its unique architectural color and structure, unmatched by other creative parks. Most importantly, the creative park has a Starbucks, where you can rest at any time. There are also many dance rooms, painting rooms, and other creative shops upstairs, and there seems to be a pet dog cafe. About equipment: It is emphasized to bring wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses, because the architectural passages are relatively crowded, and wide-angle lenses are needed when shooting the extension of the stairs; the structure between the passages is also well-arranged, and telephoto lenses can be used for shooting. Dress tone: It is recommended to wear simple black, gray or white, echoing the structure and color of the building; it is recommended to use black and gold tones for color grading to enhance the atmosphere of the environment. Shooting angle: (1) At the corner of the stairs, use a triangular composition to shoot the model from above; (2) On the side of the stairs or aisle, shoot a close-up of the model walking through the aisle; (3) The model sits on the stairs, shoot a close-up of the model from below; (4) Shoot the model walking through various aisles and stairs from a high angle.
