How to use the foreground in photography?

You mean the prospect?

Hmm. . . The application prospect is not great. . . Use more background ...

But the foreground can also be used, for example, if you want to shoot a lake and an island in the middle of it. In this way, there will be a subject in the center of the photo, but because it is an open lake, the periphery of the photo will be very empty. In order to increase the symmetry of the picture or reduce the sense of emptiness, some photographers will choose to shoot under the willow tree, so that the branches of the willow tree obliquely pass through a top corner of the picture, or shoot from the bushes, so that the bushes surround the island in the middle of the lake and make the picture look less empty.

Then there is the creation of mystery or dreaminess, such as taking pictures of lotus flowers. There is a lotus leaf in the foreground, blocking half of the picture, and the other half is a lotus flower in the distance. Because of the imaging characteristics, half of the lotus leaves will not only block the background, but also diffuse into a hazy green. Another scene is in a ballroom or shooting a dinner party. There is an Iraqi lamp or a candle in the foreground, and then the light will spread into a very large but hazy halo (not as stiff as the diffusion in the background) to set off the atmosphere of the photo. Or you can let a model stand under the window, direct the hard light outside the window, and then blow the screen window to flutter in front of the camera, showing a pure and beautiful image.
