Seventeen methods of photographic structure

Seventeen methods of photographic composition are blank composition, golden section composition, center composition, symmetrical composition, circular composition, perspective traction line composition, compact composition, diagonal composition, horizontal line composition, scattered composition, triangle composition, curve composition, frame composition, radial composition, diagonal composition, vertical line composition and L-shaped composition.

1, blank composition

It is the most common way to leave blank symmetrically up and down. This kind of blank space has the characteristics of minimalist composition, which is steady, balanced and atmospheric, but moderate. The purpose of blank space is to highlight the subject better, and to minimize the secondary or irrelevant scenes in the picture by blank space, so that the subject can be seen at a glance.

2, the golden section composition method

Commonly known as Jiugongge composition, the main body is located at the golden section, and the horizontal and vertical position of the picture is 1/3. The golden section composition method is applied to poster design, web design, painting, fashion design and other fields. The golden ratio is often introduced into photography, which can make photos feel more natural and comfortable, attract viewers and give people a pleasing visual experience.

3. Central component

It is to put the subject in the visual center of the picture to form the visual focus, and then use other information to compare and echo the subject. This form of composition can intuitively show the core content to the audience, and the content points are more organized and the visual effect is good.

4. Symmetric synthesis

Refers to the picture vertical line on both sides or the middle horizontal line is equal or roughly equal composition. This composition, balanced layout and regular structure give people a sense of balance, stability and solemnity. Symmetrical composition has the characteristics of balance, stability and echo.

5, circular composition

Refers to the composition mode in which the main body is round or the border is round. In the visual information obtained from the shape and outline of objects, circles and triangles have more visual control than rectangles and squares. In life, circles are also widely used, such as architectural decoration, compact discs, wheels and so on.
