What are the forms of photography?

The composition of photography is as follows:

Central composition, symmetrical composition, diagonal composition, horizontal or vertical composition and trisection composition.

1, centered composition

Whether novice or veteran, it is customary to put the subject in the center of the picture when shooting. This is the most commonly used composition method, which is widely used in shooting news and personal close-ups.

2. Symmetrical composition

Symmetrical composition can show the stability of buildings and the interest of geometric figures when shooting buildings, and the common one is left-right symmetry.

When shooting scenery, use the reflection in the water to shoot works that are symmetrical up and down, and the visual expression of the picture is more impactful and aesthetic.

3. Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition is more interesting than conventional composition, because the lines are inclined and the picture is more lively. Often used to shoot flowers, roads, sports, etc.

4, horizontal or vertical composition

Horizontal composition is mostly used for landscape photography, which keeps the ground, sky and mountains level and divides them into multiple levels.

Vertical composition is often used to photograph trees, buildings, telephone poles, etc.

5. Triangulation composition

Cameras generally have grid lines as auxiliary lines for composition, such as three-point composition. The bottom of the figure below accounts for 1/3, and the top accounts for 2/3. Often used to shoot the sky and the ground, the picture is more layered.

Or the left and right sides account for 1/3, and the other side accounts for 2/3, 2/3, which makes the picture more artistic.
