Common photographic composition methods

Common photographic composition methods are as follows:

1, the third segmentation method: divide the picture into nine equal parts. Putting the subject at the intersection of these dividing lines or composing along these lines can make the picture more balanced and attractive.

2. Diagonal composition: Using diagonal to divide the picture into two parts, and placing the main body near the diagonal intersection can bring movement and tension to the picture.

3. Symmetrical composition: placing the subject in the center of the picture can achieve left-right or up-and-down symmetry and create a stable and balanced effect.

4. Silhouette composition: Use the effect of backlight or backlight to amplify the contrast between light and shade of the subject, highlight the shape of the subject, and create a sense of drama and mystery.

5. Foreground composition: Put an interesting or eye-catching foreground element in front of the picture to enhance the layering and depth of the picture and guide the audience's line of sight into the picture.

6. Guiding Line Composition: Guiding the audience's eyes to the main body with lines or shapes can create a sense of flow and guidance through the path or line of sight.

7. The composition of the overhead space: In portrait photography, in order to avoid the crowded picture, a certain overhead space is usually reserved for the characters to make the picture more natural and comfortable.

8. Golden proportion composition: dividing the picture into golden proportion areas and placing the main body near these dividing lines can create a visual harmonious beauty.

Introduction to photography

1, understand the three elements of exposure: exposure refers to controlling the brightness of photos, which is determined by three elements: aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity (ISO). Aperture controls the depth of field and the amount of light, shutter speed determines the length of time for light to enter the camera, and sensitivity determines the sensitivity of the camera photosensitive device to light.

2, master the focal length and depth of field: the focal length determines the magnification of the lens, the long focal length can narrow the object distance, and the short focal length can shoot a wider angle scene. Depth of field refers to the depth of a clear range in a photo, which is determined by factors such as focus, aperture and focal length.

3. Use light correctly: It is very important to master the appropriate lighting conditions in photography. Natural light is usually soft and warm in the morning and evening, which is an ideal time to shoot scenery and people. Avoid shooting in direct sunlight, and consider shooting in cloudy days or shadows.

4. Composition and visual elements: Learn how to build attractive and balanced composition, including using symmetry, trisection, lines and shapes to organize the picture. Understanding the use of visual elements such as color, contrast, shape and texture can effectively convey themes and emotions.

5. Choose the right lens: Understand the characteristics and uses of different lenses, including wide-angle lens, standard lens and telephoto lens, and choose the right lens to shoot different scenes and themes.
