What does horizontal composition mean?

Horizontal composition is the most natural and commonly used composition form. You can use horizontal composition to shoot moving objects, as well as wide horizon, calm sea and communication between people, which can be well expressed in the unique stability of horizontal composition framework.

Horizontal grid composition is also conducive to expressing the rhythm of ups and downs. If the cross frame is widened, the modeling force of the cross line will be strengthened.

When shooting portraits, horizontal composition usually makes the picture more spatial. When shooting close-ups, horizontal composition can well express the five senses and demeanor of the characters.

When shooting a bust with horizontal composition, there will be a certain spatial area in the picture, which will increase the spatial effect of the picture and make people look stretched. Generally speaking, there is a certain space on the left side of the picture, and the right side is "filled" by the line of sight of the characters, and the picture composition is stretched and harmonious. Horizontal composition is still conducive to coordinating characters and backgrounds and showing the sense of stability of the picture.

Vertical composition is also a common form of painting, which is beneficial to show the scenery with obvious vertical characteristics and often appears tall and solemn. In the vertical composition frame, you can watch the line of sight up and down, and you can connect the contents of the upper and lower parts of the picture.

Vertical frame composition and horizontal frame composition are not used casually, and have their own rules. First of all, what do you want to express according to your theme: when expressing broadly, use horizontal composition; When you are tall, use vertical composition.

Horizontal composition is suitable for shooting vast fields, grasslands, the sea and other scenery;

Vertical composition is suitable for shooting buildings, trees, etc. (individually rather than in blocks).

When the lines in the picture are mainly horizontal, use horizontal composition;

When the lines in the picture are mainly vertical, use vertical composition.

Extended data:

The name composition comes from western art, and there is a course called composition in western painting.

In the theory of Chinese painting, the name of composition is not composition, but layout, or quotient. In other words, photographic composition is transformed from artistic composition, which we can simply call framing.

Whether it is the layout in Chinese painting or the framing in photography, it only involves part of the composition, and it cannot contain the full meaning of composition. Therefore, it is more scientific and accurate to use the word "component" uniformly.

What is the purpose of learning composition? It is to study the relationship between the height, width and depth of three-dimensional space on the plane, so as to highlight the theme and enhance the artistic appeal. Whether the composition is handled properly, novel and concise has a great relationship with the success or failure of photographic works of art.

Practically speaking, a successful photographic work of art is the success of composition first. Successful composition can make the content of the work logical, clear-cut, prominent and pleasing to the eye. On the contrary, it will affect the effect of the work, which is chaotic and lacks hierarchy, and the whole work is unintelligible.

Triangular composition

The three visual centers are the main positions of the scenery, and sometimes the scenery is arranged in a three-point geometric structure to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle, in which the oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced but flexible.
