[Advanced Photography Course] It turns out that square photos can be so beautiful.

This is a bit nonsense, but few people think so. We are all used to taking photos directly. Few people think about whether the photos are rectangular or square, and the ratio is 1: 1 or 4:3. Just take a photo casually. The following photo was taken in a model room of a building materials market. After the photo is taken, directly use the software clipping function to cut off the extra four corners to form a photo of 1: 1, so that the flower-shaped beauty and charm of the tile appear before our eyes!

Multiple objects mean that the same object appears in the picture many times. For example, the following picture was taken in a handicraft shop in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing, and the traditional Beijing handicrafts male prostitutes in Fang Gezi were neatly placed on the shelves layer by layer. This kind of photo can be taken as long as you find the right position, adjust the front angle and hold the phone steady. Using a square to express this material can better reflect the clarity of the visual center of the subject in the photo.

In recent years, the most popular shooting technique is minimalism, which abandons the traditional method of using large-scale materials and expressing a lot of cumbersome things, but uses a few strokes or simple black and white colors to express simple themes. The characteristics of this kind of photos are simple and clear background, prominent subject and prominent vision, and the use of square composition makes the minimalist shooting style just far away from the stability and tension of photos.

For example, in the photo below, your sight will be unconsciously guided to the house by the stump outside. The blank space between the sky and the ground is kept at the golden ratio of 1:2, which is in line with artistic aesthetics. The square controlled this blank and made the photo extremely simple.

In the picture below, your line of sight is directly guided to the bird by the wires on both sides, and the position of the bird falls in the center of the photo, which makes the photo look stable and comfortable.

Using square composition to express creative techniques will make your photos full of shock and visual impact. Using creativity in stable structures such as squares will make photos stand out in stability, and then photos will be particularly impactful and expressive. Let the photos be full of personality. For example, the following picture was taken with a camera 360, and then cut into a square of 1: 1, and the magazine effect came out. The stable square frame is littered with messy photo albums, cameras, mobile phones and other objects. The characters appear in the regular rectangular mobile phone, which makes the inside and outside of the picture in sharp contrast and eye-catching.

The following photo is synthesized by directly subtracting the picture from the daily P picture and then selecting a background picture. After the completion, it is a square photo directly, and the characters are full of eyes and creativity.

Landscape photos are also a bunch of photos taken when we usually travel. If you try to apply some common composition rules, such as trisection, curve composition and vertical symmetry composition, to square photos, your photos will be more magnificent and extraordinary.

For example, the following photo was taken in Xi 'an in autumn. At that time, the leaves of ginkgo trees turned golden yellow. We found a good angle to take this photo, and then cut off the redundant trees and leaves. We can easily feel that the leaves of the ginkgo tree in the photo seem to be sticking out and have a strong sense of extension.

The following is the original picture of a waterfall photo. The photo was taken with a slow door. We can clearly see that the silky waterfall flows down the river, and the waterfalls, sunshine and pools are beautiful.

The photo below is the result of cutting the photo above into a square of 1: 1. We only take the first half and keep the first half. Is the waterfall a more obvious theme? The waterfall is about to shed the feeling of photos, which strengthens the sense of picture extension and makes the picture more pleasing to the eye.
