Symmetrical composition:

Its characteristics are balance, stability and relativity. Disadvantages: dull, lack of change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles.

Balance composition:

Give people a sense of satisfaction, perfect picture structure, clever arrangement and balanced correspondence. It is often used for moonlit nights, water, night scenes, news and other topics.

Vertical composition:

Can fully show the height and depth of the scene. It is often used to show pictures composed of vertical lines such as towering trees, steep rocks, waterfalls and skyscrapers.

Composition change:

Deliberately arranged scenery in a corner or a side can give people thinking and imagination, leaving room for further judgment. Full of charm and interest. Often used in small landscapes, sports, artistic photography, humorous photos, etc.

Jiugongge composition:

Place the subject or important scenery at the intersection of Jiugongge. The four intersections of the word "well" are the best positions of the main body. Generally speaking, the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it is not static. This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, with the characteristics of highlighting the subject and making the picture tend to be balanced.

Centripetal component:

The main body is in the center, and the surrounding scenery is in the form of composition concentrated towards the center, which can strongly lead people's eyes to the center of the main body and play a role in gathering. It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it will also produce the feeling of oppression and embarrassment.

Diagonal composition:

Arranging the subject on the diagonal can effectively use the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time, it can also make the companion have a direct relationship with the subject. Dynamic and lively, it is easy to produce the convergence trend of lines, attract people's attention, and achieve the effect of highlighting the subject (such as spotlight illuminating the subject).

X-shaped composition: lines and tones are laid out in an X-shape, with a strong sense of perspective, which is conducive to guiding people's sight from the periphery to the center, or the scenery has the characteristics of gradually enlarging from the center to the periphery. Often used in architecture, bridges, highways, fields and other themes.

Triangular composition:

Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the geometric composition of three points into a plane arranges the position of the scene to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible.

S component:

On the screen, the scenery is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and producing a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling. When it is necessary to express the subject in the form of curve, we should first think of S-shaped composition. Commonly used in rivers, streams, winding paths, paths, etc.

Composition of fractions:

Divide the picture into two parts with the ratio of 2: 1, forming a left-right echo or an up-and-down echo, and the performance space is relatively broad. One part of the picture is the subject and the other half is the partner. Often used to express people, sports, scenery, architecture and other themes.

Compact composition:

Enlarge the main body of the scene in the form of close-up to make it full of pictures, compact, delicate and microscopic. Often used for portraits, micrographs or showing local details. Depicting a character's face vividly and unforgettable.
