Hui photography

In the process of photography, don't be limited to one or a certain fixed composition method. The use of good composition methods will make our works stand out. Today, we will explain to you several different photographic composition methods:

1. Symmetry is a traditional composition method, which is also easy to understand, that is, the objects on the screen are basically symmetrical. This way of writing is of special significance to China people. China people pay attention to clear pronunciation and clear articulation. Like some ancient palaces and ornaments, including the red happy characters used in marriage, they are absolutely symmetrical. Therefore, the symmetrical processing method has strong China characteristics. Wedding photography sometimes uses symmetrical composition, especially when shooting ancient costumes. Symmetry can not only give people a sense of tradition and rules, but also set off the grandeur of architecture. Symmetrical composition is also used when shooting solemn buildings such as Tiananmen Square and the court. Generally speaking, symmetry has advantages and disadvantages, and it can be used occasionally. Frequent use will make the pictures lack creativity and be too conventional.

2. Diagonal diagonal composition covers a wide range, which generally means that the subject is between two diagonals. Speaking of diagonal lines, we may immediately think of a simple straight line lying on the screen. In fact, in real shooting, it is not so absolute, and it is not that an object completely walks from one corner to another. Many times, the subject may not be presented in the form of a straight line, or it may start from one end, but it does not completely reach the diagonal, but as long as there is a diagonal, we call it diagonal composition. In addition, when shooting portraits, the subject is often placed in the diagonal position of the picture to seek different visual effects.

3. The scenery with variable composition is deliberately arranged in a corner or side, which can give people thinking and imagination and leave room for further judgment. Full of charm and interest. Often used in small landscapes, sports, artistic photography, humorous photos, etc.

4. The cross-line composition scene adopts the form of diagonal cross layout, and the intersection of the scene can be inside or outside the picture. The former is similar to cross composition, and the latter is similar to diagonal composition, which can make full use of screen space and lead the line of sight to the center of the cross or to the outside of the screen. It is lively, relaxed and implicit.

5. Elliptical composition can form a strong sense of wholeness and produce visual effects such as rotation, movement and contraction. It is often used to express that it does not need special emphasis, but focuses on the picture content of the scene or the main body of the rendering atmosphere.
