How to highlight the subject (the relationship between subject and companion) in photography

Using the comparison of size, we often feel that when a group of people come to us, the tallest or shortest one is often the easiest to attract our attention. This shows that differences will make us concentrate, and people will be attracted to this unique object again and again. According to this truth, when applied to photographic composition, we can get an experience that in any composition with uniform size, the part that is enough to break the uniformity has the greatest attraction. Therefore, in order to make the subject conspicuous, we can deliberately choose some foil bodies that are larger or smaller than the subject for comparison, and the subject will stand out. 2. Use the contrast between light and shade. When the building lights up in the dark, we will make eureka tower stand out in the night. This is the role of contrast between light and shade. The so-called "all white is not white, there is black and white." Contrast between light and shade can make the main object stand out. 3. The work "Drought in Uganda", which won the prize of the World Press Photography Exhibition, shows the suffering of people in arid areas of Africa in this way: a skinny hand is held in a white and plump palm. Through the distinct texture differences of these two hands, the photographer suddenly showed the seriousness of the disaster and people's pain, which aroused people's strong sympathy and anxiety for the African victims who struggled to die. 4. Using the contrast of shapes When two objects with different shapes coexist in the same picture, there is obvious contrast between them, which plays a prominent role. 5. Using color contrast as the saying goes, "Although red flowers are good, green leaves are indispensable", the color contrast is vividly interpreted, which plays a great role in highlighting the main body. Indeed, red flowers can only be more gorgeous against the backdrop of green leaves. By extension, all objects with contrasting colors have the function of contrasting and setting off each other. 6. It is very attractive to compare the differences caused by the change of the direction of the object in the picture. Because, as long as the direction of the main body is opposite to the line direction of the eyeliner, people's eyes can be attracted. 7. Taking photos by contrasting emotions, in addition to the methods mentioned above, we can also use the different emotions revealed by the subjects for comparison, which will be the role of setting off the protagonist. 8. Highlighting the subject with a picture frame In photography, the subject can be effectively set off and highlighted with a picture frame. This is because there is a great difference between the frame and the main body (whether in color, shape or contrast), and this difference will concentrate people's attention. In fact, the understanding of frame should not be narrow. Some doorframes, window frames and arches are ideal frames, but we can also use many commonly used objects to get a virtual frame effect. For example, we can put a branch with leaves in front of the camera and check the position of the branch through the viewfinder until it is just in the ideal position for composition. Sometimes a beautiful large plaid headscarf and a mirror can play the role of a picture frame, thus rendering the subject.
