Introduction to photography: six composition methods you must master

1. Three principles: thematic, thematic and concise.

Subject: What do you want to express to the readers?

Subject: it is the main object of the picture, an important embodiment of the idea and the focus of controlling the overall picture.

Conciseness: the picture is concise and easy to understand, and the composition is complete and rigorous.

2. Picture composition: subject, partner, foreground, background and blank.

Subject: it is the main object of the picture, the embodiment of thought and the focus of controlling the whole picture.

Accompanying body: an object that forms a certain plot with the subject on the screen and helps to express the characteristics and connotation of the subject. Simply put, it is a foil.

Foreground: The background in front of the main body can enhance the vertical and horizontal sense and layering of the picture, connect the elements in the scene and make the picture more attractive.

Background: The background behind the subject is the biggest effect and function of rendering the subject, which plays an auxiliary role.

Blank: Blank picture is a kind of layout and wisdom of photography. If the picture is too full and real, it will lose the agility and elegance of composition and appear lifeless; With blank space, it gives observers a space for daydreaming and playing.

3. Shooting angle: panorama, distant view, middle view, close-up view and close-up.

Panorama: A portrait or a picture of a scene in the perspective of 180 degrees has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and realism.

Foresight: broad vision, often used to show the time, environment, scale and atmosphere of the event. For example, the performance of open natural scenery, mass scenes, war scenes and so on. Vision focuses on rendering the atmosphere and expressing emotions.

Mid shot: The shooting range of the scene is wide, and you can shoot several people and their activities in the same picture, which is helpful to explain the relationship between people.

Close shot: It helps to show the face or other parts of the character. The one-inch photo is a close-up view.

Close-up: Hanging in the part showing the characteristics of people or things in life.

4. Composition method: golden section rule, nine-square grid composition method, triangle composition method, diagonal composition method, vertical composition method and symmetrical composition method.

Golden section: The golden section is the most aesthetic proportion considered by ancient Greece. To divide a straight line into two small segments, the ratio of short line to long line is required to be 1: 0.438+08. When taking pictures, the golden section composition can make the picture more stable and harmonious, thus highlighting the subject of shooting.

Jiugongge composition method: Jiugongge composition originated from the golden section method. Take 1/3 points from the top, bottom, left and right of the picture, and then connect these points with straight lines to form a dividing line similar to a "well" shape. It can make the picture more comfortable and increase the attraction of the main body of the picture.

Vertical composition: it can effectively represent the vertical extension of the picture. In a picture composed of vertical lines, the main line is usually displayed in the form of vertical lines extending from top to bottom, giving people a majestic and straight feeling.

Diagonal composition method: Diagonal line is the longest straight line in the picture. Using diagonal composition will make the picture have directional movement, make the picture more active and produce a formal aesthetic feeling. This composition of the picture is often the main body full of the whole diagonal, using the contrast of color and shape to emphasize the main body. In addition, diagonal lines divide the picture beautifully into two parts, which can also create a sense of stability.

Triangle composition method: Triangle is a common composition method, and the visual center of triangle is usually formed by the shape or position of the scene. This composition method is often used to shoot mountain scenery or architectural scenery, which can well show the stable, three-dimensional and weighty visual effect of the main object.

Symmetrical composition method: Symmetrical composition can shoot objects with symmetrical structure, and can also skillfully use other media such as water, glass and other reflective objects to form symmetrical compositions such as up-and-down correspondence and left-and-right echo. This composition method is often used to photograph buildings and people in scenes or mirrors.
