What are the composition methods of photography?

Jiugongge's composition, also called TIC-tac-toe composition, is actually a form of the golden section, as mentioned earlier. 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.

(2) Cross composition

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.

(3) Triangular 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.

(4) Three-point composition

In photographic composition, the picture is divided into three parts horizontally and vertically, and the intersection of 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. Of course, when using the trisection method, you can also put the scenery on the golden section line, which will be more beautiful from the visual point of view, such as buildings or the horizon. In fact, many SLR cameras, including some card cameras, have built-in auxiliary line function. When this function is turned on, the camera will automatically add composition auxiliary lines in the viewfinder to help us make composition. Trigonometry applies to horizontal and vertical frames. If the subject and partner are arranged in trigonometry, the photos will be compact and powerful.
