What are the taboos in photographic composition?

Taboo 1: Standing upright

Explanation: The main body and most of the accompanying objects in the picture, such as characters, animals, mountains, trees, buildings, etc., are not allowed to have their upper parts touching each other. The upper and lower parts of the screen are close to the bottom of the screen.

Taboo 2: The picture is tilted

Explanation: Pay attention to the horizon, sea level and tall buildings not to tilt

Taboo 3: Hitting the head against the south wall

Explanation: There should be a larger space in front of the subject, which should be larger than the space behind the subject. Theoretically it should be a 2:1 relationship. This is especially important for moving subjects. If there is no space in front of the subject or the space is small, it will form an embarrassing scene of "hitting the head against the south wall". Taboo 4: Bad overlap

Explanation: When shooting, photographers must pay attention to the fact that there should be no overlap between the subject (especially the person) and the accompanying person that would cause ambiguity. If you don't pay attention, not only will the shooting fail, but some jokes will also occur.

Of course these are theories, you need to keep exploring in practice, JIN~DAIN tips!
