What's the name of the composition that winds its way to the distance?

This composition method is also widely used in photography and is favored. It guides the viewer with some natural "lines" in the picture, so that his attention shifts from the foreground to the central focus, and finally to the extended background. The guide line is not necessarily a real line, as long as it is directional, it can let the reader's eyes go from one end to the other. It is easy to find some guiding lines in real life, such as roads, bridges, running water, neatly arranged lamp posts, light and shadow, stairs, color lines and so on.

The most common natural lines are roads, and winding roads generally give people a strong sense of space.

Line guidance can also produce a strong sense of perspective, which expands the infinite imagination space for photos.

Line-controlled composition has a strong visual orientation. As long as your line convergence point is the theme you want to express, you don't have to worry that the focus of the viewer will go beyond what you want to express. In addition, you can also use the line convergence point to guide the viewer's line of sight to every corner of the picture according to the composition rules such as Jiugongge, and create various artistic conceptions. You can even lead the line of sight out of the photo frame so that people can't see it and enjoy the work by imagination.

There are also several points to pay attention to in the composition of the guide line.

1. The guide line is usually used as the foreground, because most of the foreground is the first place to attract people's attention. Putting the guide line in the foreground can play its role more effectively.

2. Many times the guide line is not a real "line", so pay attention to whether the guide line is clear enough when looking for an angle.
