The most useful photographs here come from the relationship between the arch and the street beyond it. This page covers light, composition and courtesy, not a list of exact GPS camera positions.
Daylight is the sensible default; no night-time lighting or safety assessment has been verified here. Morning light tends to be gentler on the arch, while later in the day the lanes fill with people and activity. Check the forecast and air-quality warnings, which affect haze more than any camera setting.
Ask before photographing residents, shopkeepers or worshippers at close range. Tripods, drones and commercial shoots may need permission and fees from the Walled City of Lahore Authority or the relevant site; no specific permit rule or exclusion distance is verified here. Never touch or lean on historic surfaces for a shot.
