This hanging neon sign is inside the hotel, so you don't need to worry about seasonal changes. Visit any month!

The hotel is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but I recommend visiting at night when the area is less crowded.

Try lying on the floor and getting low while positioning your model in front of the lights. This perspective will magnify the ceiling and make the environment feel larger.

The photo was taken in a dimly-lit corridor, so make sure to bring along a tripod and a small lighting kit for better lighting control. A small lighting kit will also help to brighten up your model so they aren't underexposed in the dark.

Don't forget to use a low shutter speed and instruct your model to hold still for a sharp, clear image.

Check out the many bars and restaurants that the hotel has to offer. The building has amazing views of the city and the Huangpu River, so head to the rooftop and see the sights.
