Four composition methods that must be known in photography on the 258th day

Photography can not only follow the golden section in composition, but also use various lines for visual guidance and creation.

Lines have three main functions in photography.

After reading so many photographic line compositions, I personally feel that the four main composition types still need to be mastered by everyone.

Diagonal composition is a term in photography, and it is a composition method, which corresponds to golden composition, horizontal composition and vertical composition ... The connecting line between two diagonals of an object in a frame is similar to diagonal, and its name is determined by its shape.

"S" composition refers to the visual sense that objects extend from the foreground to the middle scene and the back scene in the shape of "S", and the picture constitutes the spatial relationship in the depth direction. Generally speaking, objects such as rivers, roads and railway tracks are common. This composition is characterized by vivid pictures and a sense of space.

The horizontal line composition originates from the stable horizon, so this composition is very extensive in the scenery. The appearance of horizontal lines will make the picture show a sense of extension in the horizontal direction, but it must be ensured that the horizontal lines are straight and cannot be tilted.

Vertical line composition Vertical line composition is a composition method that uses linear elements perpendicular to the upper and lower borders in a picture to form a picture. Vertical line composition generally has the characteristics of towering, straight, solemn and powerful.

Pony has something to say:

These are four common line compositions.

I think all kinds of geometric lines can be seen everywhere in life. The key lies in whether we pay attention to these changes with our heart. As a photographer, we should always pay attention to the cultivation of photographic eyes, have a heart that loves life, shoot more, and you will find a different new world.
