Seventeen methods and pictures of photographic composition

Seventeen methods and pictures of photographic composition;

1, Jiugongge composition

This kind is the most common, and we use it the most. Some Jiugongge compositions are also called tic-tac-toe compositions. As mentioned earlier, they actually belong to a form of the golden section. It is to divide the picture into nine blocks on average, and arrange the themes at any point in the four corners of the central block.

2. Cross composition

Cross-shaped composition is to divide the picture into four parts, that is, draw two lines horizontally and vertically through the center of the picture, and the intersection of the centers is based on the position of the subject. This kind of composition increases the sense of security, peace, solemnity and mystery of the picture, but also has some unfavorable factors such as rigidity.

3, triangle composition

Triangular composition, in which the subject in the picture is placed in a triangle or the image itself forms a triangle, is a visual induction method. If there is a triangle formed by a shape or a shadow, if it is a naturally formed linear structure, the main body can be arranged in the center of the hypotenuse of the triangle in order to make a breakthrough.

4. Triangulation

Triangular composition refers to the horizontal division of the picture into three parts, and each sub-center can be put together with the main form, which is suitable for the main body with multi-form parallel focus. It can also represent large space, small objects, and vice versa. This composition is vivid and concise. It can be used in different scenes such as close range.

5.a-shaped composition

A-shaped composition refers to arranging the structure of the picture in an A-shaped form in the picture. A-type composition has a strong sense of stability, upward impact and strong visual orientation. The change of different tilt angles in A-shaped composition can produce different dynamic effects of the picture, with novel form and clear main direction. But it is also a difficult method to master and needs experience accumulation.

6.s-shaped combination

S-shaped composition gives full play to the aesthetic feeling of the picture, which is first reflected in the aesthetic feeling of the curve. S-shaped composition has strong dynamic effect, which is both dynamic and stable. All kinds of pictures can be selected according to the subject matter.

The best effect is to express the natural ups and downs of themes, such as mountains, rivers and regions. It can also show many curves of human body, animals, objects and various natural and artificial forms. Generally speaking, the S-shaped composition extends from the lower left corner to the upper right corner of the picture.

7.v-shaped composition

V-shaped composition is the most varied composition method, and its main changes are directional arrangement, upside down and horizontal, but in any case, the intersection point must be centripetal. V-shaped dual-purpose can fundamentally change the nature of single use.

When used alone, the picture is unstable, and when used twice, it has both centripetal force and stability. Positive V-shaped composition is generally used in the foreground, as the frame structure of the foreground, highlighting the main body.

8.c-shaped combination

C-shaped composition has the characteristics of curve beauty, can produce variable visual focus, and the picture is concise and clear. However, when arranging the subject and object, it must be arranged at the C-shaped gap, so that human vision can move to the subject and object with the arc. C-shaped composition can be adjusted in any direction. Generally speaking, it is mostly used for industrial and architectural themes.

9, circular composition

Circular composition is the visual center formed by arranging the main body at the center of the circle. A circular composition can be composed of an outer circle and an inner circle. The outer circle is a natural solid structure, the inner circle is a hollow structure such as pipes and steel pipes, and the outer circle is a composition of the shape of solid circular objects (usually large and grouped), which mainly shows the changing effect of the main bodies arranged in the circle.

10, w-shaped composition

W-shaped composition, excellent stability, very suitable for close-up shooting of people. It can play a good role in dealing with the background and prospect. Using this composition, we should seek small changes and visual perception.

1 1, frame composition

The foreground composition generally adopts frame composition, such as using doors, windows, holes and other frames as the foreground to express the subject and clarify the environment. This composition is in line with people's visual experience, which makes people feel that they are watching images through doors and windows. The sense of space and perspective that produces reality is very strong.

12, golden section

The golden section has been discussed before, and here is mainly the application of linear structure to enhance the impression of the golden section in a linear form.

13, diagonal composition

This is a very famous composition expression. When the corner lines are composed in the picture, the diagonal relationship formed by the lines makes the picture have a strong dynamic form, showing a deep effect. Its perspective will also turn the subject into a diagonal line and lead people's eyes to the depths of the picture.

14, composed of horizontal lines

The use of horizontal lines can produce symbolic meanings such as tranquility, openness and broadness in the picture, but a single horizontal line is easy to split the picture. In fact, horizontal lines often appear in photography, such as the horizon.

15, composed of vertical lines

The composition of vertical lines is more varied than that of horizontal lines, and single lines have the same shortcomings as horizontal lines. But there are relatively more changes when there are multiple lines. Such as symmetrical arrangement perspective, multi-row perspective, etc. Sometimes, it can produce unimaginable effects. Vertical lines symbolize firmness, solemnity and strength; Its photography faces a more natural vertical line rather than a horizontal line.

16, curve composition

Curves included in curve composition include regular curves and irregular curves. Curves symbolize softness, romance and elegance, which will give people a very beautiful feeling. Curves are widely used in photography. For example, human photography is to present the curvaceous beauty of the human body. The texture of expression can produce beautiful pictures. Pay special attention to the direction of the overall axis of the curve when using composition.

17, irregular line composition

The composition of irregular lines is troublesome. If you don't master it well, it's easy to mess up the picture. Irregular lines have various properties. Such as disorder, abstraction, rationality, mystery, etc. A single irregular line segment also has visual guidance, which will produce strange picture effects if used properly.
