What is the nine squares of photography?

Trigonometry is commonly used in photographic composition. That is to say, in the process of photographic composition, the horizontal and vertical directions of the picture are equally divided into three parts.

The intersection of dichotomous lines is called the center of interest. When we observe a photo, our eyes will be attracted by the interesting center first, so when we take a photo, we will arrange the main things near the interesting center as much as possible.

Dichotomy can be divided horizontally or vertically. When the two are used together, that is, when the "well" composition is adopted, this method of re-composition is the composition of nine squares.

Jiugongge composition belongs to a form of golden section. It is to divide the picture into nine blocks on average, and arrange the themes at any point in the four corners of the central block.

In fact, these points are in line with the "golden section law" and are the best locations. Of course, balance, contrast and other factors should also be considered. This composition can present changes and movements, and the picture is full of vitality.

These four points also have different visual senses. The top two points are more energetic than the bottom, and the left side is stronger than the right side. Pay attention to the problem of visual balance.

Other photographic composition methods:

1, cross synthesis

Cross-shaped composition is to divide the picture into four parts, that is, draw two lines horizontally and vertically through the center of the picture, and the intersection of the centers is based on the position of the subject. This kind of composition increases the sense of security, peace, solemnity and mystery of the picture, but also has some unfavorable factors such as rigidity.

But it is suitable for symmetrical composition, such as the theme of ancient buildings, which can produce a central perspective effect. Such as the embodiment of mystery, mainly in cross, church and other photography. So different themes choose different expressions.

2, triangle composition

Triangular composition, in which the subject in the picture is placed in a triangle or the image itself forms a triangle, is a visual induction method. If there is a triangle formed by a shape or a shadow, if it is a naturally formed linear structure, the main body can be arranged in the center of the hypotenuse of the triangle in order to make a breakthrough.

But the effect is the best only when panoramic view is used. Triangle composition produces a sense of stability, while inversion is unstable, highlighting tension. Can be used for close-up people, close-up and other different scenes of photography.

3.a-shaped composition

A-shaped composition refers to arranging the structure of the picture in an A-shaped form in the picture.

A-type composition has a strong sense of stability, upward impact and strong visual orientation. It can show this form of tall natural objects and their own existence. If the performance object is placed at the junction of the top of the A word, it is mandatory visual guidance at this time. It is not enough to pay attention to this point.

The change of different tilt angles in A-shaped composition can produce different dynamic effects of the picture, with novel form and clear main direction. But it is also a difficult method to master and needs experience accumulation.
