How to take literary photos in Shanghai

The places where literary photos are taken in Shanghai are: red telephone booths, old alleys, bar streets, old churches, art galleries, rivers and so on.

1. Red phone booth

The telephone booth full of British flavor is the first landmark to enter the old Bund Bar Street. The telephone booths that were once visible in the streets have long since disappeared, and the red telephone booths here are more like nostalgia and remembrance of time. The bright red is in sharp contrast with the ancient buildings, which also makes the photos more visual.

2. Old alley?

During the day, the old Bund, like a quiet old man, has its unique sense of tranquility although it is in a busy city. Walking in an old lane, time seems to have returned to the last century, where those long memories are solidified, things that have rarely passed but have never moved. The Old Bund is one of them. In the old alley, things from the past appear from time to time, such as rickshaws, which are standard in TV dramas of the Republic of China. You can also use these props to enrich the scene when taking pictures.

3. Bar Street

Every shop in the bar street that closes during the day seems to have a long story. If the neon bar street is flowing at night, it is still there at this moment. You can continue to write stories about you and the city here with your camera. If you look closely, you will find that every shop in Bar Street has its own characteristics, and some small details can't be observed at night, which is more suitable for exploring during the day.

4. Old church

The Catholic church on the Old Bund was built in the 11th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. With a typical Roman Gothic style, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. At present, it is one of the important punching places for wedding photography in Ningbo. There are countless old buildings in Catholic churches, which can also be used as props for taking pictures.

5. Art Museum

Another punch-in point on the Old Bund is the Art Museum, which was designed by the first China person to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize. From the outside to the inside, it is made of wood and steel, giving people a simple feeling. The long and narrow corridor is also the best choice for taking pictures, not losing the European Art Palace at all.

6. Riverside?

Sanjiangkou was once a place where merchants gathered in the past dynasties, and it was also a symbol of the city. In the memory of the old people, it is still the heart of the city and the deepest memory of all people. When there are few people during the day, you can sit on the roadside of the pedestrian street and let the photographer take pictures of people's feelings during the journey for you.
