How should outdoor portrait photography be composed?

In painting or photography, according to the requirements of the theme and subject matter, the images to be expressed are properly organized to form a coordinated and complete picture, which is composition.

When shooting outdoors, we must first determine the number of people to shoot, and then use the composition method according to the number of people. When there are few people, you can use golden section composition, three-point composition and other large composition methods, and when there are many people, you can use balanced composition or circle and flaw circle composition.

According to the environment around the portrait, the quality of the environment also has a very important impact on shooting, and the environment will directly lead to the outstanding feeling of the subject of the work. Outdoor photography can adopt convergent line composition method or triangular composition method, while horizontal composition method can be adopted on grassland.
