How to use six photographic composition methods to get the design layout

This is the most common composition method, which is regarded by photographers as a way to tease the composition of gold. First, let's learn about the golden ratio. The golden section is an ancient mathematical method. Pythagoras, the founder of the golden section, boldly asserted that if the ratio of one part of a line segment to another part is exactly equal to the ratio of the other part to the whole line segment, that is, 0.6 18, then this ratio will give people a sense of beauty. Later, this magical proportional relationship was praised by Plato, a famous ancient Greek philosopher and aesthete, as teasing the golden section. Mathematics has no concept at all for most people who study visual arts. It is easy to understand by looking at the schematic diagram below. The magic and magic of golden section are widely used in painting, design, video and other artistic fields. As long as the composition is in accordance with the golden section, your work will have artistic beauty.

2. Center composition:

The central component of Dafa is funny and often misunderstood. Think that putting the subject in the middle is not a composition. In fact, the central composition is also a very important composition form. Central composition is the best composition method to highlight the theme. For the first time, people's vision must fall in the center of the picture, so this composition is more direct and has more visual impact.

3. Symmetrical composition:

Symmetrical composition is also an important composition method which is funny compared with the golden section, giving people a sense of stability, balance and repetition. Symmetry is not rigid and can be divided into up-and-down symmetry, left-right symmetry, complete symmetry and axial symmetry. Making good use of symmetry will make the picture more appealing and dramatic. For example, calm water reflection, architectural perspective and so on are often composed in this way.

4. Deviation components:

As the name implies, this is a form of composition in which the main body or division of the picture deviates from the golden section line, generally exceeding the three-point line. Someone can talk. Is that okay? The answer is yes, yes, although it is not as rigorous as the first two compositions, it is still necessary to use it at a specific time. For example, shooting the starry sky or the orbit of a star will occupy most of the picture, and the compression below the horizon will be very small. In addition, creating an ethereal and far-reaching atmosphere will also lower the horizon. Sometimes it will show more prospects, and if it is necessary to explain the horizon or horizontal line, it will be mentioned.

5. Plane composition:

Plane composition means that the subject is a plane parallel to the focal plane and has no sense of perspective. Generally speaking, buildings, walls and other large-scale plane scenes are the main ones, with strong sense of form and flat pictures, which can highlight the main body.

6. Diagonal composition:

In addition to golden section composition, diagonal composition is the most common one, which will make the picture more active. Because the diagonal length of a rectangle is the longest, diagonal composition gives people a sense of extension.

7. Perspective guide line composition:

The effect of perspective is most obvious in some street scenes, passages, corridors and other environments, and it is very common in our shooting. Spatial perspective will connect the streets with radial lines from near to far, and finally gather at the vanishing point at infinity.

Using this composition in shooting will enhance the three-dimensional sense of the picture and increase the mystery of space exploration. This composition is also used simultaneously with golden section, symmetrical composition and diagonal composition.

8. Full composition:

Full composition is mainly aimed at group objects, and many people, animals or things will appear in the picture, which is almost full composition. This composition is more story-telling, informative and attractive, just like an epic classical oil painting. But this kind of composition is difficult to grasp, easy to disperse, unable to find the theme, and becomes a mediocre photo. There are three main points in full composition. 1: There must be a prominent theme or a main story in the picture. 2. There should be interesting points in the picture, such as a look and an action. 3. You can also highlight the focus and use the shallow depth of field control to highlight the theme.

9. Blank components:

Blank composition is a very advanced composition form with Zen, mystery and sense of space. Both landscape painting and freehand brushwork of flowers and birds in Chinese painting have applied blank composition to the peak. If you want to master blank composition, you can appreciate Chinese painting more. White is a general term here, not only refers to white, but also refers to black and red ... Similarly, if there is a blank composition, other composition forms can still be followed.

10. Minimalist composition:

Minimalist composition looks a bit like blank composition, and minimalist composition does have a large area of blank space. The difference is that the theme of blank composition can be very complicated, but the theme of minimalist composition is very simple. Then let's see what minimalist composition is.

1 1. Complex components:

Photography pays attention to simplifying the complex. In order to highlight the theme and discard unnecessary elements, there are many ways to divide the scene into reality and reality by using large aperture. In fact, composition can also be very complicated, so that the subject can be deliberately placed in a complex environment, and some dramatic effects can be produced by using the division, illusion and coincidence of the environment.

12. Composition of repeating pattern:

Repeated patterns are also images that we often encounter. Such as buildings, crowds, forests, etc. Will produce continuous patterns, which is a sense of order and beauty, if it reaches a certain number, it will be very shocking. So how to turn the same pattern into an infectious picture requires some special means. First, light is used to change the pattern. Grasp the dramatic changes in the pattern, such as the moment when one person in the crowd turns around; Use perspective relationship or depth of field to increase the change of pattern; Some of the pictures are patterns, while others are other elements.

13. Picture-in-picture composition:

Frame composition is like a beautiful frame in a painting, and the painting is mounted in the painting. Generally, doors, windows, branches and other aesthetic shapes can be used as picture frames in the picture.

14. Composition with overlapping points:

Coincidence, in fact, is not so coincidental, but you have to find out, keep looking for angles, change positions, and wait for opportunities, and finally you will get such a funny and coincidental picture.

15. Combination of frames with different specifications:

Camera screen specifications are not all 3: 2 rectangles, and there are 4: 3, 7: 6, 5: 4, 2: 1, 3: 1 ... So how do you compose music? The answer is simple. All the above components are completely applicable to different specifications.
