How to grasp the structure of photography

First, the horizon and the dichotomy, and "never put the horizon in the middle of the picture", these two rules may be familiar to you. Take the dichotomy as an example. In order to achieve the best effect, this is a rule that can be applied or may be abused. Imagine dividing your picture vertically and horizontally into three parts, so that you get nine rectangles or nine squares.

Second, the position of the subject Putting the subject in the picture is a very important issue. At the same time, it is also important where you put the background that can be used to improve and increase the interest of the picture.

Third, the background and foreground, don't forget that the final photo you get will include everything you see in the viewfinder, and the picture will not be just the subject you want to shoot. You must consider the background and prospect. Your subject should be in harmony with other objects in the photo. Paying attention to the background is not to destroy or divert people's attention to the subject, but to set off the subject as perfectly as possible.

Fourth, the choice of border This technique is often used for decorative photography of "chocolate candy box". It includes framing a scene or theme with foreground objects, and the most common ones include branches, arches, beautifully decorated railings and court doors.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) can read pictures in many ways. Appreciating a picture is like reading a page of a book. Our eyes naturally sweep or enter the picture and fall into focus. A typical example is that a path winding from the bottom of the picture will lead your eyes to people or buildings near the top of the picture. When you look at such a picture, your vision will subconsciously follow this path and come to the shooting focus from the bottom up.

Six, pattern structure If you pay attention to observation, you will find that there are some pattern structures everywhere. You can create interesting and even surreal photos by using the pattern structures found in everyday objects.

Seven, fill the picture In addition, a very useful composition method for some kinds of photography is to fill the picture with the subject, which is a particularly useful technology for mobile photography. All you need is the subject, and everything around you is unnecessary, which will distract people from the interesting center.

Eight, equipment Choosing the right equipment plays an important role in composition, but it doesn't need a bag full of lenses. Although the eyes with choice and imagination are still the most important, it is helpful to choose the right tools.
