Structural skills of shooting architecture

Composition skills of shooting architecture;

First, symmetrical composition

The ancients followed the round sky and demanded that the atmosphere of ancient buildings be stable, so most buildings presented symmetrical structures. So when shooting, they look for the symmetrical central axis, pay attention to the level at the same time, and avoid tilting, so as to achieve the symmetrical effect.

Two or three-point composition

The subject can be placed in the middle, and the foreground background accounts for 1/3 respectively, which highlights the depth of field and shows a sense of hierarchy, and at the same time highlights the subject through contrast. The main body can also be placed at four intersections, which is simple to operate and not easy to make mistakes in composition. You can also use auxiliary lines to ensure the level.

Third, the picture composition

When there are more sundries in the picture, or our main content is less, using frame composition can get rid of sundries, simplify the picture, attract the attention of the audience, highlight the main body and have a sense of spatial perspective. Use natural scenery as a framework, and also use doorframes, windows, window sills, passages, etc. This is a good place to use frames for composition.

Fourth, reflect on composition.

Using reflection composition is a common technique when shooting ancient buildings. Similar to symmetrical composition, the most important thing is horizontal lines to avoid tilting.

5. Turn the photo into black and white.

When the color of the picture is too messy, try to remove the color of the picture and turn it into a black and white image. Using black and white tones when shooting ancient buildings will make ancient buildings look like ink paintings, giving people a different artistic sense and visual experience.
