What is the SLC photography rule?

The existence of photo theme, soul and emotion distinguishes photography creation from fiddling with the camera.

L: Lights, rays and shadows

Light and shadow are not only the basis of presenting images, but also a part of photography.

C: composition, structure

Composition, composition, structure, structure, frame.

Composition refers to the experience of image arrangement and combination. The composition methods we usually say-balance, symmetry, division, contrast, viewpoint ... are to highlight the subject through the positional relationship, distinguish between primary and secondary, and be pleasing to the eye. If we think more broadly, we should consider the existence of all the elements in the photo and the relationship between them. These elements not only include clear entities, including visible light and shadows, but also include the atmosphere and emotion in the photo ... this is also composition.

It seems too absurd to call "SLC photography rule" "soul, light and shadow, constitute photography rule", so these three words may continue to be used, and the broad understanding is accurate. The mention of "SLC" does not mean dragging English, but reminds you that the theme, exhaustion and composition here should not be simply understood.

"SLC photography rule" is not to deny the previous definition, analysis and teaching of light and composition, but to analyze and grasp photography creation as a whole. It is not only a way to inspire photographic thinking, but also a way to appreciate and understand photographic works.
