Basic rules and skills of composition. If you don't understand, collect it quickly.

Composition is the first consideration in photography. Composition is not only to highlight the main body, but also to adjust the angle, light, proportion and the relationship between screen elements, so as to achieve the effect of visual balance. So, how much do you know about composition? Next, we will introduce the basic principles and skills of composition in detail by art photography.

First, keep it horizontal and vertical.

Whether shooting scenery or people, the composition of the picture must be kept level. Because people's perspective is head-up, if the picture is tilted, it will make people feel uncomfortable instinctively and affect the overall perception experience. In addition, horizontal and vertical can also be used to divide the picture and highlight the main performance.

For example, if you want to take a picture of the sea and the sky, then the composition principle of the picture should be taken according to 1: 1, so as to keep the position of the sky and the sea in the center. If it is to reflect the blue sea water and the golden beach, then the horizontal division position should be upward, so that the sea water and the beach occupy 3/2 positions. The advantage of this composition is that it has a clear focus and can effectively highlight the main body.

Second, simplify the complex background.

The messy background around the subject not only affects the viewing experience, but also easily steals the limelight of the subject. In the unavoidable situation, we can use the effect of blurred background to solve this problem. The most commonly used place is flower photography.

How to shoot the flowers we want among the flowers? The first step is to try to change different angles and choose the best position. The second step is to shoot with shallow depth of field and blur the elements that do not need to be reflected, so that the picture is more concise and the subject is not disturbed.

Third, make good use of color relations.

Between different colors, there are relations such as setting off, contrast, coordination and complementarity. Clever use of the relationship between colors can help us highlight the main body and make a picture composition. Contrast color is the most commonly used in photography, and the collocation of contrast color can often produce strong contrast effect and enhance visual impact. So as novices, we can remember several common color relationships. For example, common contrast colors are red to green, yellow to blue, black to white, and blue to orange; Common harmonious colors are blue with blue, dark green with light green, deep red with light red and so on. Being good at using color relations can not only make the picture more prominent, but also set off the atmosphere. To sum up, regarding photographic composition, following the basic principles can ensure that the composition is not wrong, but if you want to make your work more brilliant, you must dare to break these original restrictions.
