Character photography skills

1, golden section composition

1. The golden section composition is the most classic composition rule. We approximately regard the golden section ratio as three equal parts and divide the picture horizontally and vertically into three equal parts to form a nine-square grid, so the golden section composition can be approximately regarded as a proportional nine-square grid composition.

The bisector connecting the four sides, and the four points obtained by crossing are the golden section points. These four lines are the golden section.

2. "Golden Section" is a geometric formula invented by the ancient Greeks, and the composition form that follows this law is considered to be "harmonious". The significance of this rule lies in providing a reasonable geometric line segment when appreciating an image work. For many painters and artists, "golden section" is the guiding principle that they must deeply understand in their current creation, and photographers are no exception.

Golden section composition is not only the most widely used composition method in portrait photography, but also the most widely used composition method in many other types of photography, such as landscape photography, which is considered as harmony in the picture.

2. Diagonal composition

1. In geometry, the diagonal is longer than other sides. Then diagonal composition is one of the most commonly used composition methods in portrait photography. Let the characters be on the diagonal of the picture, let them fill the picture as much as possible, and improve the utilization rate of the picture.

2. The diagonal composition of portrait takes the model's body as the diagonal position of the picture, giving the viewer a full and vivid effect, creating a sense of three-dimensional sense and extension, enhancing the visual effect, reflecting the beauty of the model's slender figure, increasing the youthful sense of the picture and giving people a sense of vitality.

3. Frame composition

1. Frame composition takes the frame formed by doors, frames or branches as the foreground, and people are placed in the frame. This way of composition introduces the viewer's line of sight to the people in the picture.
