Extended data

The golden ratio is a special proportional relationship, namely 1: 1.438+08. Pictures that meet the golden ratio will make people feel harmonious, appropriate and aesthetic. The golden ratio is very practical in photography, which is a composition method used to arrange the elements in the picture after moderate simplification.

For beginners, the simplified golden section theory is easier to understand and apply. Now let's look at what the simplified golden section is:

It's that simple! In fact, the simplified version of the golden section is a nine-square grid, which can also be adjusted in some cameras. Actually, it is convenient for users to use the golden section theory. Please pay attention to the four points in the middle of the nine squares. As long as we put the protagonist on one of these four points, we have already used the golden section, and the photos will be much more harmonious than putting the protagonist in the middle.

We also call this composition method TIC-tac-toe composition. In fact, because human eyes can't accurately calculate 1: 1.6 18, we can divide the picture 1 into three parts, divide the length and width into three parts with two pairs of vertical and horizontal lines to form a tic-tac-toe and four intersections, and arrange the subject to shoot at the intersections.

For example, in this photo, the photographer focused the golden section on the model's eyes, making the whole photo harmonious and comfortable.

For example, in the above picture, the photographer placed the carved house in the position where the characters intersect at the lower left of the rock, so as to attract the attention of the observer and make the subject better integrate into it.

The golden ratio has many applications in architecture, painting and photography. Although not every photo should follow the golden ratio, your photos will be more eye-catching if you use them well.
