How can novices quickly improve their photography level?

In order to get the composition effect you want, you need constant practice and personal experience to find a suitable composition. So what are we going to do? This is a project that can help beginners practice every day and help you improve your photography level quickly through 7 groups of composition exercises in 7 days.

1. Place the theme at the intersection of nine squares.

Jiugongge composition is one of the simplest works for beginners. It uses nine intersections to locate the theme in one of four intersections. If the shooting theme is the way that an individual puts the head or eyes of the subject on the intersection of squares.

Step 2 use a guide wire to attract attention

On the way to work or go shopping, try to find a place as the shooting theme, and then use the lines around the area to shoot, such as handrails, porches, bridges, sidewalks, telephone poles, and try to use those lines you see to attract your attention to the points of interest.

3. Symmetrical layout

The simplest way to place symmetrically is to put the focus or the object in the center of the image, or to give weight to the left and right images at the same time when shooting, giving people the feeling that the image weights are equal, just like putting a mirror in the center of the image.

4. Give the foreground and background in the picture a certain depth of field.

Try to zoom out the image to create a shallow depth of field. By giving the picture a foreground and background, the front part is clear and the background is blurred, otherwise the foreground is blurred and the scene in the background is clear (or you can use superposition to make the whole picture clearer).

5. Layout the pictures according to the ratio of 1:3.

1:3

The arrangement of is to use one area as the theme and two areas as auxiliary elements. For example, landscape photography, one part is water or the ground, mountains, and the other two parts are the sky, and the clouds are cleared. We can also practice minimalist photography like this, leaving part of the main body and the other part is a blank area.

6. Macro photography

Macro photography is to put the subject in the whole picture and take pictures of two objects. We often see some close-up photography, which can be used not only in the details of objects, but also in portrait photography. Try to find toys and objects to make models, and then you can practice.

Step 7 create a picture

Pictures are used for definition and composition, so that the eyes can focus on the needed points immediately. Try to use pictures, trees, branches or anything nearby that exist in nature, or use the foreground as a picture. The framing is suitable for landscape and portrait photography.

After being familiar with these seven-point composition techniques, try to evaluate the images obtained every day after practicing shooting, find the outstanding points and those parts that are considered defective, and sum up the experience, so that the same mistakes will not be made again.
