What are the photographic compositions?

The photographic composition is as follows:

1. central synthesis method

Central composition is to put the subject in the center of the picture for composition. The biggest advantage of this composition method is that the main body is prominent and clear, and the picture is easy to achieve the effect of left and right balance. This is especially effective for rigorous, solemn and decorative photography.

2. Horizontal line composition method

Horizontal line composition is the most basic composition method, mainly horizontal lines. Horizontal and stretched lines can show a broad, stable and harmonious feeling, which is often used in lakes, water surfaces, grasslands and so on.

3. Vertical line composition method

Vertical line composition means that vertical lines are dominant in the picture. Usually, when the composition is composed with vertical lines, the subject itself conforms to the characteristics of vertical lines, such as trees. Vertical line is a symbolic symbol in people's minds, which can fully show the height and depth of the scene.

4. Three-point synthesis method

Three-point composition, also known as tic-tac-toe composition, is a composition method often used in photography, design and other arts. In this method, the scene needs to be divided by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, so that four intersections can be obtained, and the picture can be focused on one of the four intersections.

5. Symmetric synthesis method

Symmetrical composition is to make the scenery in the picture symmetrical or centered according to a certain symmetry axis or center. It is often used to photograph buildings, tunnels and so on. If it is not completely symmetrical in the early stage, it can also be corrected and cut in the later stage.
