What are the structures of photography?

The production of a good photo is by no means a "snap shot". Good composition and framing are the necessary conditions for an excellent work.

1, symmetrical structure

Symmetrical composition can bring solemn atmosphere to the picture, which has the characteristics of balance, stability and relativity, and is more in line with the aesthetic habits of the public. Its disadvantage is that the picture looks a little dull, lacking in change and impact. This composition method is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

2, triangle 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. Triangles can be regular triangles, oblique triangles, inverted triangles, and many oblique triangles, which gives people a stable, balanced and practical feeling and is flexible at the same time.

And triangle composition.

This kind of triangle is often used in architecture and other photography, and it is shot on the facade to show the sense of grandeur.

3.s-shaped combination

S-shaped composition is to use "S" curve to lay out the scenery of the picture, which makes the whole picture look rhythmic and energetic, produces a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling, and makes the picture more vivid.

4. Elliptical composition

Elliptical composition is easy to form a strong sense of wholeness and can produce visual effects such as rotation, movement and contraction. It is often used to express the picture content that does not need to emphasize the subject, but focuses on the scene or atmosphere.

5, reticle composition

Cross-line composition makes full use of the screen space, guiding the viewer's line of sight to the cross center or outside of the screen, making the screen more relaxed and lively, stretching and implicit, and using the cross diagonal to let the viewer enjoy the whole screen from multiple directions along the diagonal. The ideal guide line is the connecting line between two corners.
