Detailed explanation of three-point composition method

Lead: If you don't know the rule of trisection, you will be surprised how much the photos that apply this rule will look better than those that don't follow it. Trigonometry is a simple composition method, which divides the picture into three parts horizontally and vertically, and then arranges the subjects at these intersections. Some digital SLR cameras can even display three-point grid lines in the viewfinder, which is convenient for photographers to compose. The following is a detailed explanation of the three-point composition method I brought, hoping to help you.

Trigonometry, sometimes called TIC-tac-toe composition, is a common composition method in photography, painting, design and other arts. In this method, the photographer needs to divide the scene with two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, just like writing the Chinese character "well". In this way, you can get four intersections, and then you can focus on one of the four intersections.

The following are some photos taken by using the trisection method, which are the best examples of learning this composition rule. You can appreciate and ponder at the same time.

Methods/steps

Compared with the three-point method, the five-point composition foundation can handle and be competent for more scenes, which is also a basic understanding of composition. If you have rich experience in composition, you don't need this kind of fixed composition cognition any more.

Point 1- the first viewpoint

The center at the top left is the "first point of view" in human visual habits studied by the National Geographic Society, which is related to modern people's writing habits from left to right.

The second point-the reporter's point of view

The upper right center, like the point 1, is the reporter's favorite human visual center position.

The third point-portrait perspective

Upper-middle center, point 3 is an eternal position. Many portrait masters even regard this center as the only visual center position all their lives. So the third point is a very attractive point.

Point 4 and Point 5-Spatial Viewpoint

The center of the left and right ends can increase the sense of space. It is often used to shoot the sea or large-scale scenes, showing the relationship between people and the environment as magnificent scenes. Therefore, points 4 and 5 can also be understood as atmospheric viewpoints.

Point 6, Point 7 and Point 8-Accidental Viewpoint

Lower left, lower middle and lower right center, the probability of good films appearing in these positions is much lower than that in the upper middle position, but occasionally some excellent works will appear.

Point 9-the point of view of a circular object

A circular object is most suitable for centering, but it will be weird if the circle is not centered. Therefore, objects such as cat heads and sunflowers. Having a circular or circular diffusion is very suitable for centering. In addition, many entry-level devices focus at the center faster than the periphery. Therefore, point 9 is a commonly used viewpoint where the visual center is most likely to appear.

Matters needing attention

There are many ways to write a composition, not necessarily according to this. This is just one of them.

The above is the introduction of five composition methods of photography skills, hoping to help everyone!
