Five aspects that should be paid attention to in the picture balance of figure photography

Introduction: Balance is a concept in mechanics. When it is applied to the composition of figure photography, it means that the subject in the picture is in a relatively balanced state, which makes the figure photo feel stable and comfortable visually. In order to master the balance of people's photographic pictures, we should generally pay attention to the following aspects:

1, top targets

The head face of figure photography, visually, is heavy and the back of the head is light. Therefore, when shooting a profile image, the image needs to be slightly back, or even there is no space behind the back of the head, so that the space in front of the face is larger than the back of the head. This can not only stretch the line of sight of the face room, but also keep the balance of the picture. But there are also some performances? Impulse? The theme of the plot, the space in front of the character's face is smaller than the back of the head, which makes the picture feel weightless, which is a special location arrangement according to the needs of the theme.

2. Main aspects

Inequality of the picture structure of figure photography (see "What are the picture structure forms of figure photography? The posture of the subject, such as leaning, leaning or leaning, often leads to a sense of weightlessness and instability. To this end, it can be made of the subject's own shoulders, his own hands and books, flowers, cups, fans and other foil related to the theme. Pad？ , you can let the weightless subject play a stable role.

3. Body and foil.

The subject matter of figure photography is set off by scenery. Visually, figures are more important than scenery. Therefore, the space occupied by characters can be arranged smaller, while the space occupied by scenery can be arranged larger, so as to achieve the balance of the picture. For example, shooting a bust of characters writing, in which a large area of characters can be arranged on one side, and correspondingly, objects such as ink bottles or inkstones can be placed on the other side of the table to keep the picture balanced.

4. Dark light and dark army

In people's photographic composition, the visual weight of light and shade is different, generally dark color is the most important and light color is the least. Usually, a small area of dark blocks can be balanced by a large area of gray or bright blocks. If a part is too deep or too shallow, the light-colored scene can be chosen in the part that is too deep? Pad？ ; Can I choose a dark scene in too bright parts? Pad？ . However, it should be strictly noted that there must be a certain contrast between the deep background and the shallow background, so as to increase or decrease the weight and balance the picture.

5. color.

Different colors have different visual components. Usually, warm colors and bright colors are more important, while cool colors and dim colors are lighter. The law of its balance should also be that the cool color or dark color of the big face corresponds to the warm color or bright color of the small face. For example, around the warm color of a character's face, a larger cool color can be arranged; When taking photos of people with warm colors, we should make the skin color of the face as bright as possible and make the surrounding warm colors darker, which will not only help highlight the main body, but also balance the colors of the picture.
