Several composition methods of photography

Several composition methods of photography, if you want to master photography, you need to know some skills and methods. This composition method is also something that every novice needs to learn, and photography also needs constant practice. Here are some composition methods of photography.

Several composition methods of photography 1 1, horizontal line composition

Horizontal line composition is often used to express vast scenery, such as sea, lake and grassland.

When taking a picture, you can make a composition according to the position of the horizontal line to show the subject. For example, the subject of our shooting is a lake, so we can put the horizontal line at the position of 1/4 or 1/5 of the picture to highlight the lake below the horizontal line.

Then if your subject is the sky, the horizontal line can be arranged at the lower position of the picture 1/4 or 1/5.

2, vertical line composition

Vertical line composition is often used to represent trees or buildings, which will give people an upward, firm and straight feeling.

If you want to show trees growing upwards or other vertical landscapes, it's best not to leave a blank space at the top of the photo, so as not to leave an infinite subject for the audience.

3. Composition of S-shaped curve

If there is an S-shaped curve in the picture, you can consider using this composition, which is generally used to show the figure of women, or often used when shooting rivers and roads.

4. Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition, that is, the image of the subject in the picture is diagonal, which will have a stronger sense of movement visually. Generally speaking, this composition is often used when shooting fierce racing cars or other speed competitions.

5, triangle composition

It is well known that triangles are stable, and the same effect can be achieved by using this composition method when taking pictures. Used to express the sense of stability of characters and the grandeur of nature.

6, guide wire composition

This composition technique is often used to shoot bridges or straight roads, which makes the picture have a strong sense of depth and enhances the mystery and unknown feeling at the end of the picture.

For example, in the photo below, the stone pile in the foreground is a guiding line, which leads everyone's attention to the farthest ship.

7. Decentralized composition

Scatter composition is a picture composed of scattered shapes. Its main feature is that "the shape is scattered but the spirit is not scattered", which is more commonly used to photograph cows, sheep or horses on the ground or flowers scattered on the grass. Make the picture have a strong sense of rhythm.

8. Three-point composition

Divide the whole picture into nine identical areas, and arrange the subject at the four intersections of the dividing line or any dividing line when shooting.

Triangular composition can avoid the dullness and boredom of the picture.

Several composition methods of photography 2 Several basic methods of photography composition.

First, the balanced composition gives people a sense of satisfaction, the picture structure is perfect, the arrangement is clever, and the corresponding balance.

It is often used for moonlit nights, water, night scenes, news and other topics.

Second, diagonal composition arranges the subject on the diagonal, which can effectively use the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time can make the companion have a direct relationship with the subject.

Dynamic and lively, it is easy to produce the convergence trend of lines, attract people's attention, and achieve the effect of highlighting the subject (such as spotlight illuminating the subject).

Third, Jiugongge composition (also called TIC-tac-toe composition) puts the main body or important scenery at the intersection of Jiugongge.

The four intersections of the word "well" are the best positions of the main body. Generally speaking, the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it is not static.

This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, with the characteristics of highlighting the subject and making the picture tend to be balanced.

Fourthly, vertical composition can fully express the height and depth of the scene.

It is often used to show pictures composed of vertical lines such as towering trees, steep rocks, waterfalls and skyscrapers.

5. The scenery on the curve composition screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and producing a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling.

When it is necessary to express the subject in the form of curve, we should first think of S-shaped composition.

Commonly used in rivers, streams, winding paths, paths, etc.

6. Frame composition uses the frame of the scene as the foreground, which can increase the vertical contrast and decorative effect of the picture and make the photo have a sense of depth.

Seven, diagonal composition can be divided into vertical lines and horizontal diagonal lines.

Sports, maneuvers, inclinations, bumps, imbalances, tensions, dangers, thousands of miles away and other scenes are often shown. Some pictures use diagonal lines to point out specific objects and play a fixed guiding role.

Eight, the centripetal composition of the main body in the center, the surrounding scenery in the form of composition to the center, can strongly lead people's eyes to the center of the main body, play a role in gathering.

It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it will also produce the feeling of oppression and embarrassment.

Nine, triangle composition The regular triangle has a sense of stability, and the inverted triangle has an unstable dynamic effect.

Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the geometric composition of three points into a plane arranges the position of the scene to form a stable triangle.

This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible.

Several composition methods of photography 3 The shooting methods of photography are as follows:

1, Ping She picture: it means that the subject and the lens are on the same horizontal line. Nature is kind, objective, close to life and has a strong sense of communication.

2. Upward shooting: refers to the shooting horizontal line where the subject is higher than the lens. Show a tall, magnificent, prominent, exaggerated, superior and praised image.

3. Top view: refers to the shooting horizontal line of the subject under the lens. Other mountains are dwarfed under the sky ... exhibition environment, location, scale, quantity, etc.

4. Top shot: refers to the subject being shot vertically below the lens. Explain the environment, location, shape, scale, quantity, etc. Photographer's photo.

Photographic light source and its irradiation direction

Shun-light means that the shooting direction is consistent with the illumination angle of the light source, and the front of the subject receives light evenly, and the exposure is basically accurate, and there will be no overexposure or underexposure. But shooting along the light can make the scene clear, but because there is no shadow, there is no light and dark level, so it lacks three-dimensional sense.

Side light means that the shooting direction is different from the illumination angle of the light source, forming a certain angle, and the light received by the photographer is uneven, with more or less front light and more or less side light. When shooting, if the front light receiving area is large, the area close to accurate exposure will be relatively large;

If the front light receiving area is small, the area close to accurate exposure is relatively small, and the contrast between light and dark is better. It should be said that the side light is easier to shape the image than the front light and the back light, because the contrast between light and dark is stronger, which can better express the three-dimensional sense and space sense of people or scenery.

Backlight is also called backlight, which means that the shooting direction is opposite to the illumination angle of the light source, forming a larger included angle. The front of the subject is not exposed, the back is almost completely exposed, and the side is more or less exposed, so it is often underexposed, and the aperture or speed must be greatly adjusted to meet the requirements of accurate exposure. But backlighting can better show the outline of people or scenery.

Top light refers to the angle between the shooting direction and the illumination angle of the light source, just like the midday sun shines vertically on people's heads from high altitude. Whether the light around the object will be evenly received from top to bottom depends on the shape of the object. Large and small, with a large light receiving area; If the top is small and the bottom is big, then both the top and the bottom will be illuminated, such as mountains and churches. Top light shooting is beneficial to show the light and shade level from top to bottom, but it is not conducive to show the texture of the scene.
