9 photography composition method Xiao Bai quickly passed the novice period. Here are 9 photographic composition methods commonly used by designers. Xiaobai should learn soon!

1, composition of three-point line

Triangular composition, also known as Jiugongge composition, divides the picture horizontally and vertically into three equal parts, and the figure trunk can be placed on each dividing line, while placing the figure at one of its four intersections can highlight the figure more clearly.

2. Central composition

Central composition is to put the object we want to shoot in the center of the photo. The center is the easiest place for the audience to see, and it is what you want to express. And as long as the focus is accurate, the center is the best position without distortion.

3, triangle composition

Triangle composition is a typical composition form in portrait photography, which is divided into regular triangle, inverted triangle and oblique triangle. When shooting, the limbs or postures of the characters are combined into a triangle.

This composition has a strong sense of stability and upward impact. The human face is usually the visual center, located at the top of the triangle, which is the most commonly used composition method for portrait shooting.

4. Frame composition

Through the composition of the picture, the picture gives a very stable feeling. With a frame, even if the middle content is chaotic, the overall picture balance is not easy to be broken.

5. Symmetrical composition

The so-called "symmetrical composition" refers to the shooting method of constructing the picture by using the symmetrical relationship of the scenes in the picture. Symmetrical things often bring us a sense of stability, formality and balance.

6. Diagonal composition

There are not many ways of diagonal composition, but when the picture is suitable, diagonal composition has a strong visual impact, because diagonal composition has been greatly divided in the picture.

7, guide line composition

Use lines to guide the viewer's eyes and create a sense of depth in the picture. A line is not necessarily a specific line, but a directional and continuous thing, which can be called a guiding line.

In reality, roads, rivers, colors, shadows and even people's eyes can be used as guiding lines.

8. Leave blank

Blanking is to leave a certain blank in the picture composition. In fact, this blank is not a blank in the actual sense. It is usually represented by scenes with the same color in a large area, such as sky, sea, mountains and grasslands. ....

Blanking can make the picture more visually comfortable. Naturally, photographers can use blank space to better control the rhythm and artistic conception of the picture, leaving more imagination space for the audience to feel this artistic conception.

9, foreground composition

Foreground composition is generally divided into two types. One is to render the atmosphere of the picture through the foreground. Generally, flowers, leaves or other things are used to block the foreground, and large apertures are used to blur the foreground, which not only highlights the subject, but also adds a sense of space to the picture, making the picture more dreamy and feminine.

The other is to make the picture more story-telling in the foreground composition, use small aperture appropriately, combine the reality, explain the prospect and highlight the key points at the same time.
