Photography structure, how to attract the audience's attention to the theme?

It is difficult to completely avoid background interference in photographic composition. In order to correctly convey the theme of the photo to the audience, first of all, you need to ensure that the photo is prominent enough to become the focus of attention. Here are some shooting ideas that can help you focus on representing specific objects.

Neutral background

Naturally, if you shoot an object in a neutral background, it will attract the attention of the viewer. This is not an arduous task, but it is a very simple but very effective method, which can ensure the audience's attention to focus on the predetermined object accurately. You can also use a textured background, but make sure the texture is not too bright, otherwise it will distract the audience from the main object.

home position

Another effective way to convey your message to the audience is to put the theme at the center of the composition and make sure that there are no other distractions in the background and the side of the subject. To further highlight the theme, please use the vignetting effect.

The depth of the scenery

By using f/ 1.4, f/ 1.8, f/2.0 or f/

A large aperture of 2.8 can reduce the depth of field and focus only on the subject. By reducing the depth of field, everything except the subject becomes blurred and subtle.

light

You can focus a beam of light on an object, and the rest of the object is in the shadow, but it is not completely invisible, which can be compared with the spotlight aiming at the only singer on the stage. The dim light of the outline of the object will create a special atmosphere without distracting attention from the main object.

Capture the moment

This is one of my favorite subjects to shoot. Sometimes I deliberately create such works, but sometimes I stumble upon ordinary things in strange places.

Weak light and local shadows

Put the object in a place with highlights and shadows, and find such an angle to capture the object, but not all, only part. In this case, you will have to determine the area to be illuminated in order to attract the viewer's attention, and everything else will be hidden.

saturated colour

Keep the subject color unchanged, and choose the subject background color to slightly reduce its intensity. Other non-dominant colors may lose their intensity, leaving only two primary colors: the main color and the main background color.

Different combinations of shooting techniques

Different technologies can be combined to achieve a wider range of effects. In the process of shooting, you will find that you almost always use multiple techniques at the same time. For example, you can try to combine low depth of field with rich colors.

... or capture the moment, combined with dim light.

There are many ways to focus on the theme of photos, and the outstanding facts make them different, so please pay more attention. You never know when you will meet something worth taking pictures of.
