18 the most commonly used construction method in photography (1)

1. Jiugongge composition method

Jiugongge composition should be the most common and basic composition method. This composition method divides the picture into nine equal squares with four straight lines. This composition is vivid and concise. At present, most digital cameras and even mobile phones have built-in nine-grid auxiliary composition lines, which are suitable for all kinds of shooting subjects, the most commonly used ones are landscapes, people and so on. In the picture below, the main characters and sailboats in the picture are placed on the frame line respectively. Similarly, the horizontal line is also placed on the frame line. This is a very typical nine-grid composition method, which embodies the main body of the picture very vividly.

Put the subject on the frame.

Overlap the object with the vertical line and the horizontal line with the horizon.

2. Symmetric synthesis method

Symmetrical composition has the characteristics of balance, stability and echo, but its disadvantage is that it is too dull.

Board, lack of change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

According to the symmetrical characteristics of the bridge itself, it is very suitable to shoot with symmetrical composition.

Symmetrical with the reflection in the water, very beautiful.

3. Prospect and depth synthesis method

Prominent foreground is a common shooting technique, which can show the depth of the picture, achieve a three-dimensional effect, and also help to attract the attention of the audience, bring the attention of the audience to the picture, and effectively enhance the artistic effect and visual impact of the photo. Rocks, flowers, fences, rivers, etc. Everything we encounter on our journey may be a prospect.

Use the prospect to increase the sense of space

4. Frame composition

Choosing a framed foreground can lead the audience's eyes to the scenery in the frame, highlight the main body and create a sense of depth. Forming a frame around the main image can create a mysterious atmosphere, just like a person peeking at a place from a hiding place. Frame composition is helpful to integrate the main image with the landscape and give the photo greater visual impact.

Use the architectural framework

5. Construction method of guide wire

Guiding line composition method is to guide the viewer's eyes with the lines in the picture, so that his eyes will finally converge on the focus of the picture. Of course, the guide line is not necessarily a specific line. As long as it is directional and continuous, we can call it a guiding line. In real life, roads, rivers, neatly arranged trees, colors, shadows and even people's eyes can be used as guiding lines.

Use the architectural framework

6. Patterns and textures

Humans are naturally attracted by patterns, which can be the shape of arches, patterns on the floor, and reliefs on the walls. Taking these as the visual subject of the picture, combined with light and shadow, can show a special texture.

Craft texture

Natural texture

7. Odd number synthesis method

The odd number rule means that when the subject in the picture is odd, the picture is more moving visually. For example, if you want to take photos of more than one person, don't take photos of two people, but take photos of three, five or seven people. Of course, this is a stupid idea for wedding photography. But whenever possible, if you take more than just commemorative photos of real life, remember the odd number rule.

Odd numbers will be more vivid.

8. Filling composition method

Let the subject fill the picture, leaving little or no space around. It helps the audience to concentrate on the subject without any interference, and also allows people to see the details of the subject clearly.
