Central component

The central composition is very easy to understand, just like its name, which means to arrange the subject in the center of the picture. There are many reasons for the central composition method. First of all, visually speaking, the visual range of human eyes will cross at the center, so the object in the center is often easy to attract people's attention. Secondly, the focus of the camera is mainly concentrated in the central area of the picture, so for shooting moving scenes, using the central composition can not only obtain good visual effects, but also make full use of the focus of the camera.

Composition with good shape

Cross composition is one of the most commonly used composition methods. When shooting, it is a problem to put the subject in the position of the picture, and a good composition is a good way. The specific usage of TIC-tac-toe composition is to divide the picture into three equal parts with two horizontal lines and then divide the picture into three equal parts with two vertical lines. These two horizontal lines and two vertical lines will produce four intersections, which are suitable for arranging the position of the main body. In specific framing and composition, if the subject can be arranged at one of these four points, it can highlight the subject well and maintain the balance and vitality of the picture.

The micro camera can turn on the grid line function when taking a view, so that the herringbone line can be directly displayed on the view, which is convenient for herringbone composition.

Chessboard composition

Chessboard composition is a composition method suitable for many subjects. This composition method needs to imagine the scene as a chessboard, and the subject is the chess pieces on the chessboard. When setting up the picture, let these "chess pieces" spread all over the picture. This arrangement can create a sense of patchwork. When the photographer can actively adjust the position of the subject, try to stagger the subject slightly, and don't arrange it too neatly, so as not to make the picture look dull. If you can't actively control the position, you can also change the position of the "chess piece" in the picture by adjusting the viewing angle.

Chessboard composition is suitable for scenes with a large number of subjects. Usually, when there are more than four subjects, it is suitable for chessboard composition. Triangular composition can be considered in three subjects, and central composition or well-shaped composition can be adopted in one or two subjects.

Horizontal line composition

Horizontal line composition refers to a picture dominated by horizontal lines. Horizontal line composition is usually used in landscape and architectural photography. At the same time, people's vision is easier to move along the horizontal line, so the horizontal line composition can better reflect the sense of openness. When composing with horizontal lines, we should pay special attention to the position of horizontal lines. Usually, it is recommended to arrange the horizontal line at the bisector of the picture, and it is not appropriate to split the picture in two with the horizontal line. In addition, the horizontal lines in the picture should be absolutely straight and not skewed, otherwise it will destroy the balance of the picture.

Vertical line composition

Vertical line composition is very similar to horizontal line composition, except that the vertical line runs through the picture and is more prominent. Usually, when the composition is composed with vertical lines, the subject itself conforms to the characteristics of vertical lines, such as trees. Vertical bar is a symbolic symbol in people's minds, which often gives people a tall impression.

When composing a composition with vertical lines, it is important that the vertical lines should be vertical and not skewed, otherwise the picture will be unstable. On the other hand, vertical framing can also be used to make the subject feel tall.

Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition means that there is a diagonal line running through the picture, or the main body presents diagonal composition. However, the diagonal in composition does not refer to the diagonal in the strict sense of mathematical set, but refers to the diagonal with a slightly larger inclination, so some people call diagonal composition diagonal composition. The biggest advantage of this composition method is that it can produce a kind of vitality and make the whole picture look more dynamic.

Curve composition

Curves are lines with aesthetic feeling. Common curves are S-shaped, C-shaped and irregular curves. Curve composition refers to the composition technique in which the curve is the main component of the picture. Curves are lines that are easy to shape. For example, there is an S-shaped curve in front of us, and a C-shaped curve can be obtained by zooming in and intercepting a part with a telephoto lens. Similarly, in the face of irregular curves, S-shaped curves or C-shaped curves can be intercepted flexibly by framing.

Mirror composition

Mirror composition, as its name implies, refers to the existence of mirror images of the subject in the picture, which can increase the sense of symmetry of the picture and enhance the visual impact. Therefore, to use this composition, we must first find a mirror, so that this mirror can reflect the main body and form a mirror image. Water, mirrors and so on are all good mirrors.

When using mirror image composition, in order to pursue perfect symmetry, it is suggested to arrange the symmetry axis in the center of the picture, so that not only the subject will have mirror image, but also the whole picture will present perfect symmetry effect.

Triangular composition

Triangle is the most stable figure. When we compose a composition with triangles, the picture usually conveys a strong sense of stability. There are two basic ways to form a triangle: one is that the subject itself is a triangle; The second is to form a triangle in the picture through three similar or identical objects.

Frame composition

Frame composition refers to the composition technique of using a certain foreground as a frame to form a picture. It should be noted that these prospects usually should not have too many details, otherwise it will distract the audience from the theme. There are many advantages to using frames. First of all, it can make the picture look novel, have a more concentrated effect and make the main body stand out. Secondly, using a picture frame to compose a picture can add a sense of hierarchy to the picture and enhance the overall sense of hierarchy. Finally, the frame can also be used to block objects unrelated to the theme in the picture, thus simplifying the picture.
