Composition skills of flower photography

Lead:? The photographer's eyes are always evaluating what appears before his eyes. He only needs to move a part of 1 mm to match the line. He can change the angle of view by slightly bending his knees. By putting the camera closer or farther away from the subject, he can draw a certain detail? This detail may complement each other or usurp the role of the master. However, the time required to compose a photo is almost as short as the time to press the shutter, because both are conditioned reflex. Bre

The true meaning of composition

Composition is a process of thinking, looking for potential order from the original chaotic things. Composition is also an organizational process, which organizes a large number of elements into a relatively complete whole. The purpose of composition is to convey the complete feelings felt by the filmmakers to the viewers through the elements that make up the picture.

For the composition of flower photography, the most basic requirement is that the subject matter is outstanding, creative and aesthetic. The elements of composition can be divided into five aspects: modeling, lines, light and shade, color and texture. How to judge the success of flower photography composition? Good composition can make the flowers in the picture more real, vivid and beautiful. It should be noted that there are many kinds of flowers, and the size and distribution of flowers are different, so the composition method also depends on it. Flowers? It's different.

Jiugongge composition method

Jiugongge composition method simply assumes that the picture is divided into three parts horizontally and vertically, and the four lines separated will form four intersections. If the main location falls on these four intersections, it can not only effectively stand out, but also make people feel comfortable. Fundamentally speaking, Jiugongge follows the golden section theory, and the four dividing lines and intersections are called excitation lines and excitation points respectively.

When shooting flowers, flowers must be the main body we want to highlight. So the position of the flower will be set at? Excited? In fact, a flower can center the stamen at the exciting point. If it is a dense cluster of flowers, the selected focus can coincide with the exciting point to ensure the best imaging position to stand out in the picture.

Diagonal synthesis method

The most common application of oblique composition in flower photography is to put the branches obliquely. People like to put the flower branches obliquely because they are more elegant and natural than other ways of putting them. This feeling comes from life. In nature, due to the attraction of flowers, thin branches generally have a certain inclination. Another reason is that diagonal placement can hold more content than vertical placement.

Don't aim at the two corners of the picture completely, just approach the diagonal trend.

Simple placement is not simple. Pay attention to the following points to maximize composition. When a single flower branch is placed obliquely, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that both ends of the flower branch should not be completely aligned with the two corners of the picture, otherwise it will be too deliberate and artificial. If you put the flowers on the same plane, the overall picture lacks realism and layering, and you need to have a little angle when shooting, which can not only combine reality with reality, but also have a sense of depth.

Centripetal component

Concentric composition? Central spiral

Concentric composition? Radial pattern

The application of centripetal composition depends on the actual situation, and it is mostly applied to flowers with large inflorescences (large single petal area and loose petal distribution). This flower takes the stamen as the center, and the petals are radially surrounded and shrink inward into a circle. Centripetal composition is suitable for representing stamens of flowers, and the texture and details of stamens are recorded by macro lens. Of course, close-ups of flowers can also be taken from the front.
