What are the elements of photographic pictures? What are the photographic compositions?

1, thematic thinking-the intention of photographic composition

The theme idea is the problem that the photographer wants to explain through the subject. Through the artistic image and modeling language in photos, photographers make readers think and feel aesthetically in the process of appreciation.

All aspects of photographic composition should focus on highlighting the theme. Photographic composition is to arrange the objective objects in the picture according to the requirements of the theme and based on real life, and fully express the theme in more forms than real life.

The composition of photographic pictures is to select typical themes and express the theme through unique modeling, which is also the essence of photographic composition.

2. Subject-the center of interest of photographic pictures

The subject is the main object to be expressed in the photographic picture, the interest center of the photographic picture, the main embodiment of the picture content and the main basis for organizing the picture.

The role of the subject:

(1) Reflect the theme idea, so that the audience can correctly understand the photo content;

(2) The subject is the center of the picture structure, which helps to focus the audience's attention.

Highlight the main method:

(1) gives the subject a position advantage. The main body can be placed to the left or right in the middle of the picture, and the smaller main body can be placed at the golden section;

(2) Point out the subject by sight;

(3) Highlight the subject through comparison. Contrast between light and shade, color contrast, size contrast, virtual reality contrast ...

3. foil-an assistant to express the connotation and characteristics of the theme

A foil is a person or scene chosen by a photographer to help the subject express the content.

Accompanying role:

(1) Use the theme * * * to express the theme idea;

(2) Increase the information of the picture to make it more natural and vivid;

(3) Make the picture more colorful and appealing.

4. Farewell to the scenery-the expression of different artistic conception in photography.

Facing the subject, how wide should I choose when taking pictures? How to determine the size of the subject and background area? According to the size of the picture range, there are different photographic scenes: distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view and close-up.

(1) Foresight: It covers a wide range of scenery and can show a broad scene and a broad space. Showing the audience the overall impression of the scene shows great momentum and atmosphere, but it can't clearly show the details of the main body.

(2) Panorama: It is a picture that completely contains something or a specific object and has an appropriate spatial environment. Its characteristic is that things or concrete objects have a complete image and the environment can also be reflected.

(3) Mid shot: A picture containing only one thing or a specific object. For example, when shooting people, the picture showing the appearance above the knee is the middle shot (bust). It is characterized by focusing on the main part of something, often winning by action plot, and environmental performance relegating to a secondary position.

(4) Close shot: The range of scenery contained in the picture is very small, and the subject can show more details, which is easy to leave a concrete and deep impression on the audience, and it is difficult to show the characteristics of the environmental background.

(5) Close-up: Go further than close-up, make a part of the subject full of pictures, only show some details of the subject, reveal the characteristics of the object from subtle points, and leave a deep impression on the audience.

5. Foreground-the scene closest to the camera

The foreground is generally in front of the main body with obvious characteristics. Its position can be distributed around the picture or on the whole picture; It can be a real image or a virtual image.

Front desk function:

(1) Render theme, general. For example, in spring, with peach blossoms and winter jasmine as the foreground, the picture is full of spring;

(2) enhance the sense of space and the dominant position;

(3) balance the picture;

(4) Strengthen decoration.

6. Background-a powerful foil to the theme of the picture

The success of a photo is related to the background of the subject. A good background can effectively set off the main body.

The role of background:

(1) sets off the main body to make the shape and outline of the main body more prominent;

(2) explain the environment and point center;

(3) Help composition, so that the picture has a sense of space and balance.
