What is the structure of photography?

Lead: What is a composition? It's about the same as Zama step in martial arts. Only when you stand steady can you use your moves freely.

Good photographic composition makes the work pleasing to the eye.

Excellent photography, without exception, is a composition worth learning. In other words, composition is the skeleton of photography creation, which determines the success or failure of the work. The most typical case is that a group of photographers meet in the same place to create, but the pictures they get are quite different, among which picture composition is an extremely important factor.

Of course, the success of composition, in addition to the photographer's unique vision, to discover and discover special things, luck is also very important. If the elements in the picture cooperate with each other, it will be of great help to shoot a work with perfect composition.

Learn to observe from the perspective of photography.

Observation is a very important link in the process of photography creation. We should find pictures worth shooting from the chaotic environment, instead of just looking around. At the same time, as an excellent photographer, we should hone this observation ability into a subconscious, make conscious and thoughtful choices about what we see, and then obtain successful photos by adjusting the lens, setting camera shooting parameters, adjusting the framing range and other technical means in actual shooting.

Before deciding to shoot, ask yourself the following questions:

Why did you take this photo? Establish the shooting purpose.

Show the audience what? Communicate your feelings through photography, which is the theme of the photo.

Is this the best subject to shoot? Find the ultimate subject as much as possible, and the picture will be more expressive.

Is the composition original? Try some unusual compositions as much as possible.

The above problems are just some general problems that should be considered when shooting most subjects, and we should pay more attention to these problems when shooting specific subjects. For example, shooting horses on the grassland might as well ask yourself, why did you choose this horse from the herd? Choose running or standing still? Choose local close-up or panoramic view with environment? Does the picture convey the message of the theme properly? Should the background be blurred or kept clear? Can it play a complementary role in the conception of surface? Is this the best shooting position and angle?

Multi-directional shooting, multi-angle performance

For anything, we can observe and shoot from different angles, and the difference of this angle, such as the height of the plane, the change of the horizontal direction, the difference between the whole and the part, also determines that the shooting results will be very different.

As a photographer, to shoot excellent and special works, we must constantly try new perspectives and take out the most essential part of the subject. For example, the following group picture also takes a flower as the shooting object, shooting different positions, perspectives and scenes respectively, and the visual experience of the picture obtained is also very different.
