Introduction of six photographic structures

Lead: the composition is very good, and there is no trouble in taking pictures. Here I will tell you six common composition methods to improve your photography skills. Let's have a look!

Jiugongge composition is the most common.

Jiugongge composition method should be the most common and basic composition method. This composition method divides the left, right, upper and lower sides of the picture into three equal parts, and then connects the points on the opposite sides with straight lines, thus forming a Chinese character? Hmm? , the picture is divided into nine grids. Don't put the main body in the middle of the composition, but at the four intersections of the well shape.

At present, most digital cameras and even mobile phones have built-in nine auxiliary composition lines. When entering cameras and mobile phones, you can generally call this mode in the screen options, which is more conducive to composition. Jiugongge composition is suitable for all kinds of shooting themes, and the most commonly used shooting themes are scenery, people and so on.

Slant lines make photos more vivid.

Diagonal composition is literally easy to understand, that is, the position of the subject in the photo is as close as possible to the corresponding two corners. Compared with the horizontal and vertical composition method, diagonal composition is more lively and vivid, and it can also make the viewing angle wider.

Diagonal composition method can not only shoot buildings and landscapes, but also be widely used in portrait shooting. Diagonal composition can make the picture fuller and more vivid and interesting when shooting moving figures.

Guide line convergence focus

Guiding line composition method is to guide the viewer's eyes with lines in the picture, so that his eyes will finally converge on the focus of the picture. Of course, the guide line is not necessarily a specific line. As long as it is directional and continuous, we can call it a guiding line. In real life, roads, rivers, neatly arranged trees, colors, shadows and even people's eyes can be used as guiding lines.

In addition, the composition of the guide line can also make the photo have a good sense of depth, make the foreground and background of the photo echo each other, make the picture have a strong three-dimensional sense, divide the structural level and layout of the photo, and make the structure of the photo more distinct.

In actual shooting, we can first determine the guide line, and then consider how to compose the picture and how to guide the viewer's line of sight into the focus.

Triangular composition shooting architecture

Triangular composition is also a very common photographic composition method. Its concept is that three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and three points are connected to form a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. When shooting classical symmetrical buildings such as the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, regular triangle layout is adopted. Oblique triangles and inverted triangles present dynamic effects and are suitable for shooting portraits, sports and other subjects.

When using triangle composition, we should pay attention to the selection of three points, don't pretend to be the master, and distinguish between primary and secondary relations. The regular triangle composition is more suitable for shooting stable subjects such as buildings and group photos. Inverted triangle and oblique triangle can make photos more vivid and vivid, and are very good choices when shooting people and sports themes.

Find the frame lock.

Frame composition can well filter out unnecessary elements and guide the audience's eyes to the theme you want to express. Using things in the foreground to frame the subject that needs to be highlighted can make the theme of the photo more prominent. Frame composition makes the subject and background in the photo combine well and make them more interactive.

When using framing composition, you need to pay attention to the proportion between the subject and the picture. Remember that the frame exists to serve the subject, and don't usurp the role of the master. In fact, the principle of frame composition is the same as that of guide line composition, which uses the lines and frames in the picture to guide the audience's line of sight to the main body of the photo. In actual shooting, gaps between leaves, doors left unlocked, window frames, and gaps between rocks can all be used as view frames.

Subject and background echo each other.

A common mistake made by beginners in photography is to pay too much attention to the subject and not to the matching background or foil. In fact, good photos need to echo the scenery before and after, giving people a sense of patchwork, and properly setting aside the background can also make the subject more prominent. And photos with foreground and background will have a good sense of space and depth of field.

When taking photos with the scene echoing before and after, we must try our best to simplify the photo elements according to the subject and try our best to eliminate unnecessary elements. Shooting with a large aperture lens can better highlight the subject and blur the background.
