Portrait Photography Composition Video Course

What are the common composition of portrait photography? Below, I have compiled a video tutorial on portrait composition for you. Welcome to refer to it!

1. Tick-tac-toe composition

This is a composition method that has been used for n times and is also the most common composition method. Whether you want to shoot landscapes, portraits, street photos, travel photos, or candid photos, it is universal, but the old-fashioned is old-fashioned, and you can use it whether you are a master or a novice. In fact, TIC-tac-toe composition is the easiest, most stable, safest and most accepted by the public.

2. Central composition

At the beginning, people said, "Don't put people in the middle, you're a novice." I just did it foolishly. I wanted to say that only TIC-tac-toe people would think you were a master, and people in the middle would know you were a rookie when they looked at you, so they couldn't take pictures and took a SLR. But after taking TIC-tac-toe for a long time, I turned around and put people in the middle. I found that it wasn't so bad, just to avoid it.

3, with the foreground composition

Sometimes I really want to take a close-up, but it's just that it's monotonous or the scenery is boring, and I always feel that taking a portrait alone feels less. At this time, you have to take pictures with the foreground. The simplest thing is to take pictures of people. There is a fuzzy flower in front. I think everyone has taken such pictures, right? However, changing flowers into a wall is also a way to match the foreground. Don't think it's weird to put a whole wall, or leave too much space. Go ahead and shoot!

4. Cutting composition

We can't shoot well at first, so we can cut it according to our favorite composition when we go home. There's no way. Not everyone is a genius to take a good photo at once, and of course I'm not. I also took a random shot at first, and I was very discouraged, but I never cut the photo by PS, so my way is to delete it if it is broken and shoot what I want on the spot. If you want to waste the shutter like me, you can refer to my way, but I think it has the advantage that you won't rely on the computer, and every photo wants to go home for editing and repairing.

You can practice shooting well on the spot in my way, but of course you waste the shutter, and it's not necessarily better to shoot after wasting it than to cut it with software ... After shooting for a while, you'll know how to cut it, and the photos won't look strange. At this time, you'll get off to work, and only you can cut the photos yourself. This is your style. Of course, you can always use the computer to cut it, but it won't help your photography skills.

5. People's small composition

I don't know what this is called, so it is called people's small composition. This kind of photo is usually used with a big scene or people are placed on the edge of the photo, which is usually rarely used, because MD's face is invisible, and most people don't like this kind of composition, but I personally like this kind of photo, so I will stand at a distance whenever I have the opportunity, but I don't have to think about taking pictures outside the group. Because if you stand far away, you will only shoot a bunch of photographers crouching in front ...

6. Instant composition

This composition is not difficult, but it depends on luck, or you will have to shoot more shutters to get a good one, usually in order to catch the expression or action. This kind of photo is usually natural and dynamic, and I prefer this one, but only a few decent ones can be taken.

This kind of composition depends on your skillful technique, interaction with MD and "luck" to take wonderful photos. Therefore, many people like street shooting because there is one factor missing from street shooting, "interaction with MD", and the rest is just your own observation and instant capture ability. It's ok if you want to shoot birds at random, anyway, there is always a good picture in random shooting, but it is necessary to match the composition mentioned above with the right expression or action in random shooting, that is, "order in chaos". This is the difficulty of this composition.

7. The big face imitates the telephoto composition

Finally, it's easy to take photos in sugar water, which is the least technical. Novice's favorite composition method, in fact, it is enough to shoot portraits. Go home and polish your skin, and everyone will call you master.
