People's photographic composition skills

The hardest part of taking pictures is the composition. Photographers should estimate the combination of various photographic elements, such as physical characteristics, clothing, external environment, lighting conditions and so on. After considering various factors affecting the photo environment, the composition is made. This paper divides portrait composition into eight types. Please choose the method suitable for the current environment according to the actual situation. The following are the skills I provided for the composition of people's photos, hoping to help you!

The complete composition increases the direct expression of the work.

The composition of the characters in the illustration is very full, which makes the model occupy most of the picture. At the same time, it removes too many interference elements, which makes the viewer's line of sight fall directly on the model and increases the impact of the picture. This composition is generally used for partial close-ups of busts and portraits to express the facial emotions of portraits. This is also the common vision of private houses and fresh photos.

A simple background is a shortcut to get a clear picture.

The selected example is a typical small fresh campus wind. As the name implies, small and fresh pictures need to be concise. This is different from the direct expression of full composition method, but highlights the characters with a large area of simple background, and then transfers the vision to the model. In addition, shooting the blue sky with low viewing angle and high horizontal line can also give people a sense of space.

The relaxed and natural composition makes the picture warm and loving.

The following two groups of works are typical swallow styles. Lively and casual nature makes viewers feel that the picture is full of life, intimate and romantic. To show a happy atmosphere, you don't need to show it in shooting and composition. You can make full use of the props or background in your hand, and it is best to look uneven and changeable, and give full play to your sense of activity.

Create a sense of space by using foreground and background composition.

The following two groups of works use the foreground for composition, highlighting the characters in the background. A group of regular steel handrails in the foreground correspond to the silent and cold mood of the models behind; Another set of petals with a bright future corresponds to a model with a fresh and natural feeling. Everyone should pay attention to different foreground materials and how to correspond to different styles of works. In addition, the depth brought by the foreground makes the picture multi-dimensional, and the contrast before and after has reached another aesthetic feeling.

Breaking the conventional perspective with high and low point framing

In composition, shooting from different perspectives has the advantage of giving the picture a "depth", and the viewer feels a three-dimensional picture instead of a two-dimensional plane, which is also different from the general horizontal perspective photography, adding freshness. In addition, it should be noted that when using low-angle composition, the contrast between the background and the subject in the picture will be too large, and the subject background may be underexposed or overexposed, and vice versa. Please pay attention to adjust the luminosity according to different environments.

Make full use of the scene to create the uniqueness of composition

The following two groups of works are very bold and innovative in composition, making full use of the props in the shooting scene and exerting the role of the scene as much as possible. Who would have thought that the model could be placed behind the dummy mold or directly on the door to shoot? This unexpected picture effect really requires photographers to have such a bold and innovative way of thinking.

Learn to read pictures and achieve the unity of people and scenery.

It can be seen that most of his works are shot in a small way on the picture composition. When the model is integrated into the picture, it feels that the model has become a part of the immediate landscape, which can also add the story of the situation. Whether it is a deliberate or natural scene, adding the people and things photographed on the spot to the surrounding environment to set off the characters in the picture can increase the visual richness. The combination of people and scenery has a beautiful picture and a long artistic conception.

Use horizontal and vertical to increase the stability of the picture.

This composition technique is classic, but it can also bring visual impact if it is used well with the help of scenes. The general usage is to symmetrically compose the picture from a 90-degree front perspective, and the language of the picture is "smooth" and "cautious". In this quiet composition method, dynamic elements can be appropriately added, such as dancers jumping in the scene, which is a method to strive for stability.
