The article (1)/(2) shared five contents based on the photography on February 26th, 1, respectively:

First, the concept and purpose of composition, simply put, is to make a photo look good in overall layout and reasonable in structure.

Second, what is the center of interest, that is, what do you want to express in the photo? People, scenery, things, etc. Photographers need observation and imagination.

Third, photography is subtraction, that is, don't put all the contents on one photo. Too many key points just don't have key points.

Fourth, the subject and the companion, that is, there is a prominent person or scene in a photo, and other appearances are to set off the prominence of the subject.

Five, leave blank and direction, that is, a photo can not put too many people or scenery, too full will make people feel oppressive and even nervous. The same is true of being a man. Don't talk too much. The direction of the photo can express the emotions of the characters in the photo.

What I shared today is the sixth place where the center of interest is often placed, that is, how to compose the central point to be expressed and where to put it in the picture is more eye-catching.

Six, five common composition methods

Explain what is the center of interest first. The so-called interest center is to take a photo, the main content you want to express, or people or scenery or things.

1, trisection composition method

Three-point line composition method, also known as Jiugongge composition method, is generally the first choice when taking pictures. Speaking of nine parties, we are no strangers. Generally, friends who like to take pictures will call up the grid lines in the mobile phone settings and shoot according to the 9 squares they see, which can help us to make a composition.

As shown below, there are 9 squares, and the blue dot at each intersection is the point where we need to place the center of interest when taking pictures.

If this grid looks abstract, please look at the next photo. In the picture below, the center of interest is the sun and the ship, both of which are at the intersection. Key point: don't put the center of interest in nine squares, but at the intersection.

Looking at another picture, the horse and the sun are the centers of interest to be represented, and both centers of gravity also fall on the two intersections below the four intersections.

Tips:

A, emphasize again: the center of gravity you want to express (that is, your center of interest) is placed at the four intersections of nine squares, not in nine squares.

B, if you want to display more than two focus points, respectively, on the four intersection points.

C. If the shooting angle violates the principle of leaving space in front of the object shared yesterday, the photographer needs to walk around and find the right angle to shoot, commonly known as "walking".

2. The composition of the golden section line

There is a golden section principle in the aesthetic foundation, that is, 0.6 18, which means that everything that meets this ratio is beautiful, and this principle is universal in aesthetics.

As shown below, on the right is the arc diagram of golden section, and the building on the left is built according to this golden ratio, which feels beautiful.

If you combine the nine squares and the golden section in one picture, it is the style below. The blue line represents the three-point line of Jiugongge, and the red line represents the golden section.

The function of merging together is that Fang Gezi is easy to grasp, in1/3; The golden section is slightly more difficult, but it doesn't need to be calculated. It is generally enough to know that it is the three-point line to the center. The so-called art really needs feeling and good observation.

Tips:

The composition of bisector can have more than two subjects, while the composition of golden section only shows one subject.

3. Symmetrical composition

This is easy to understand, from top to bottom, from left to right, divided into two halves, the whole looks similar.

The picture below is a photo that is symmetrical up and down.

Tips:

Solemn, majestic and sacred buildings usually adopt symmetrical composition.

4. Changing composition

Put the subject at 1/3 of the picture, leaving a lot of space in front to show the mood of flying; The subject faces the wall, leaving space to express sadness; Use actions to express the communication between characters and between characters and nature; Express the subject's rebellion, joy, high mood and so on with excellent pictures.

The following picture shows the dialogue between characters and themselves or nature, which not only shows changeable communication, but also shows the golden section.

5, triangle composition

Characters are often used. As shown below, the clouds in the sky and the dancing girl just form two different triangles, and the flying picture looks very stable.
