Seventeen methods of photographic composition

Photographic composition methods: Jiugongge composition, cross composition, triangle composition, trisection composition, A-shaped composition, S-shaped composition, V-shaped composition, C-shaped composition, O-shaped composition, W-shaped composition, mouth-shaped composition, diagonal composition, golden section, horizontal line composition, vertical line composition, curve composition and irregular line composition.

1. Nine-grid composition

Divide the picture into nine blocks on average, and arrange the subject position with the position of any point at the four corners of the central block. In fact, these points are in line with the "golden section law" and are the best positions. Of course, factors such as balance and contrast should also be considered. This kind of composition can present change and movement, and the picture is full of vitality.

2. Cross-shaped composition

Divide the picture into four parts, that is, draw two lines horizontally and vertically through the center of the picture, and the intersection point of the center is according to the position of the main body. This composition increases the sense of security, peace, solemnity and mystery of the picture, and there are also unfavorable factors such as rigidity.

3. A-shaped composition

In the picture, the structure of the picture is arranged in the form of A-shaped. A-shaped composition has a strong sense of stability, upward impact and strong visual guidance. It can express this form of tall natural objects and their own existence. The change of different tilt angles in A-shaped composition can produce different dynamic effects of the picture, and the form is novel and the main direction is distinct.

4. Diagonal composition

In the picture, make the main objects on the diagonal, such as bridges, towers, people and cars, to express dynamic modeling. This composition is suitable for a sporty picture, which gives the picture a medium penetration.

5. Horizontal line composition

Using horizontal line composition can produce symbolic meanings such as tranquility, broadness and broadness in the picture, but a single horizontal line is easy to split the picture. In fact, horizontal lines often appear in photography, such as the horizon. In photographic composition, it is forbidden to cross the horizontal line from the center, so you can move up or down to avoid the center position, or "breaking" in photography means to arrange a shape at a certain point of the horizontal line to make the horizontal line break.

This single horizontal line is more difficult to master, while the combination of multiple horizontal lines is easier to master in photography and very interesting. For example, when multiple horizontal lines fill the screen, the main position can be arranged on a section of some lines, so that some horizontal lines will be broken. This method has prominent main body and rich decorative effect.

Composition has its own rules and methods. Photographers make compositions according to their inherent sensitivity. Plastic arts are visual arts, and the quality of composition can be distinguished by eyes. The characteristics of composition in its quality should, first of all, make the audience feel the author's intention immediately without looking at the title of the work, introducing and commenting.

The author can't express his ideas by words, but by the structure of people, things, scenery and the whole picture to express his feelings and ardent love for life. The theme of the work is reflected by the vivid typical image with distinct personality created by the author. Only in this way can the audience have a real sense of hearing the voice, seeing the person and being in the scene.

Therefore, before the composition process of photography creation, we should first look for the creative motivation (the motivation of conception and the motivation of modeling), and composition is a process of creating artistic works, and composition is the synthesis of all factors of artistic works.

this kind of synthesis can show the author's thoughts and intentions more comprehensively and powerfully, that is, the process of reflecting the author's thoughts into the form of artistic works that can be felt. Therefore, composition connects all the elements of form according to the content of artistic works.
