Application of photographic structure prospect

Lead: The most interesting thing about photography is that it can show three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. That is, to express the height, width and depth of things, composition is very important to achieve this effect. Next, we will explain to readers the application prospect of a common composition technique.

What are the prospects?

Foreground is an important factor in photographic composition. As an integral part of photos, they can highlight the main body and increase the sense of space and depth of photos. Therefore, in photographic composition, the correct use of the combination of foreground and background can make the scenery in the photo more harmonious and unified, thus making it more appealing. In order to achieve this simulation effect, we must use some foreground to create illusion, so that the photo picture looks more spatial and deep.

How to make use of the prospect

1. Guidance topic

The most common thing is to use foreground to guide the audience's line of sight to the main part. Using a wide-angle lens with the foreground can also exaggerate the sense of space and depth, but at this time, the foreground is best to guide the line of sight, such as a winding mountain road leading to the village and a row of the same trees leading to the tower.

2. Strengthen the contrast

If you shoot some black objects or outlines in the foreground of the photo. So as to form a strong contrast, and then emphasize the dim and plain background. For example, in the picture below, black stones in the foreground are used to highlight the sky behind, making the composition particularly vivid.

Increase interest

When taking a landscape photo, anything can be used to add interest to the foreground, thus giving the photo a sense of depth. It can be a tree, an animal, a building or a vehicle, but it must be related to the whole picture. Otherwise, the whole picture will become incoherent and destroy the overall artistic conception. As shown below, with wooden stakes as the foreground, it successfully brings out the distance of the sky behind it, and at the same time makes the composition no longer monotonous.

special effects

1. Wide-angle objective

The use of wide-angle lens and low-angle shooting, as well as the distortion produced by this lens itself, can further highlight the interest of the foreground. The picture below successfully captures the feeling of connecting heaven and earth in this way. At the same time, the water surface is used as a foreground to enlarge and make an exaggerated effect.

2. Long shots

To shoot interesting prospects, it is not limited to using wide-angle lenses, but also using long lenses can be effectively used. Moreover, the long lens can compress the perspective, which can greatly play a role and make the prospect more prominent. The following picture takes the silhouette of a flower as the foreground, and takes a long shot, so that the sunset and silhouette are both taken in the picture, which enhances the atmosphere.

Clever use of the foreground can greatly enhance your interest in photography. In fact, there are many methods of composition, and I will explain them to you again when I have the opportunity. Finally, thinking, seeing and feeling before shooting is more beneficial than pressing the shutter more.
