What are the ten structures commonly used in photography?

Ten composition methods commonly used in photography are: trisection composition, symmetrical composition, frame composition, center composition, guide line composition, diagonal and triangular composition, minimalist composition and blank space, balanced composition, golden triangle composition, golden spiral composition and so on.

1, centered composition

This composition is often used to take portraits, and most portraits are close-ups with a single object, such as a building, which is relatively large. In short, the objects in this composition are very large and occupy a large proportion in the picture. Generally, the telephoto lens is used to compress the picture to shoot.

2. Triangle composition (Jiugongge composition)

Triangular composition, also called Jiugongge composition, is a relatively common and simple composition method.

There are generally two horizontal lines and two vertical lines to divide the picture equally. When in use, the main body is placed on the four intersections of the line or on the line. Simple operation, vivid performance and concise picture. Many cameras are directly equipped with this composition auxiliary line, which is widely used, especially in landscape and portrait.

3. Frame composition

This is to choose a frame as the foreground of our picture, guide the audience's line of sight to our shooting subject and highlight the subject.

Frame composition will form a sense of depth, make the picture more stereoscopic and intuitive, have more visual impact, and also make the subject echo with the environment. Doors and windows, leaf gaps, nets, etc. Often used as a framework.

4. Symmetrical composition

This composition rule can be applied to all objects with geometric symmetry that appear in nature or in daily life. It can be transverse symmetry, longitudinal symmetry, central symmetry, etc.

This composition is very useful, and symmetrical objects are easy to find. It is possible to shoot according to the symmetrical structure of the object. The most common is our traditional architecture in China, which is often designed symmetrically. When you go to the Forbidden City, you will know what is on the left side of the eaves. Generally, there will be objects of the same size on the right side.

5. Diagonal lines and triangles

The diagonal picture has dynamic tension and is more lively. Triangle composition will increase the stability of the picture, and triangle composition elements are often built into the picture, especially in portrait photography. Mostly used to shoot buildings, peaks, plant branches, people and so on.
