Portrait building technology

Lead: Portrait composition not only needs to control the whole picture, but also needs to adjust the expression changes of the characters accordingly. Let's have a look!

Portrait composition skills in picture composition photography 1. golden section

There are straight line segmentation and curve segmentation, equal segmentation and equal segmentation, and the most important thing is? Golden section? .

Ancient Greek architects have long realized that satisfactory visual effects can be achieved by using a mathematical calculation method for layout and composition, which is the golden section method. The golden section is also called. Golden ratio? Or? Gold interest rate? . Divide a line into two sections, and the ratio of the length of the whole line to the longer part is equal to the ratio of the longer part to the shorter part, that is, 1: 1. 18. This proportion has universal aesthetic value in plastic arts.

The rectangle with the scale of 1: 1.6 18 belongs to the typical golden ratio, such as the picture taken by 135 camera, and the negative is 24mmX36mm, which is the ratio. So most rectangles have good visual effects. If a rectangle is divided into nine equal parts, there will be four dividing lines in the picture, right? Gold thread? Is this dividing line also called in China? Jiugongge? . Four? Gold thread? What is intersection? Golden section? These four points are the visual center of the picture. Because people see with two eyes, physiological reasons determine that people's visual center is not in the center of the picture, but on both sides of the center. What's the best location? Golden section? . Photographic composition follows this ancient law, and the structural center of the picture is often placed somewhere. Golden section? Let's go

? Golden section? Any point is a good place to arrange the main body. Arranging the subject at the golden section can form an angle, which is convenient for looking around and echoes with all parts of the picture. Even standard images? Golden section? The eyes of a standard portrait are generally located at two golden points in the picture, otherwise it will make people feel uncomfortable. Of course, the golden section method is a traditional composition method, which cannot be fixed and should be used flexibly.

The space allocation of photographic pictures should be determined according to the characteristics of the subject and the accompanying body, and the sense of form of picture segmentation should also be taken into account.

1, directionality of the subject

If the subject is sideways or semi-sideways, there should be a large space in front of the person, otherwise it will make people feel embarrassed. People who walk or run should also have a large space in front of them, otherwise people will feel that the shutter is too late. You should also leave an open space in front of the door when shooting buildings, and so on.

2. Main arrangements

Themes can be arranged on either side of the screen according to the needs of the content. But in general, the subject is too high, which makes it look heavy and light; The main body is too low, it seems that the lower part is heavy and the upper part is light; Too far to the left or too far to the right will cause the phenomenon that one side is heavy and the other side is light. Therefore, the arrangement of the main body should consider the balance of the picture.

When shooting a character, it seems a little that the hair of the character reaches the top border. Top？ ; When the character's foot steps on the next frame, it appears again? Is it tight? A little bit. Under normal circumstances, leave room around the characters, and don't let them appear stiff and stiff. It's called. Leave the picture blank for three minutes, and you will get angry. ?

3. Horizon and level

The horizon and horizontal line are usually arranged in the middle of the picture, otherwise it looks like dividing the picture in half. If the sky is rich in layers and there are many attractive contents, you can raise the lens, lower the horizon or horizontal line and put it on the lower one? Gold thread? On, so the sky accounts for 2/3 of the picture; If there is nothing in the sky and there are many things worth showing on the ground or on the water, then put the horizon or horizontal line on it? Gold thread? Let the ground occupy two-thirds of the picture.

When taking ordinary pictures of people, keep the camera on, and don't let the horizon or horizontal line tilt, otherwise it will destroy the stable aesthetic feeling of the picture.

Portrait composition skills of picture composition photography III. background

Background is an important part of the photographic picture, and figure photography pays great attention to the selection and processing of background. Background refers to the environment far away from the subject, some are simple planes and some are deep landscape spaces, which are used to set off the subject. For the requirements of the background, one is concise, the other is distinctive, and the third is the contrast of tone and light and shade.

Although the background should be concise, it should also have its own characteristics. If the background can explain the living environment of the characters and has explanatory and symbolic significance, then the background is not needed. Concise? Yes

1, empty scene and virtual scene

Portraits of photographers usually use background paper or background cloth behind the subject as the background, or a wall as the background, or even the sky as the background. This background is a simple plane, which we call an empty scene. The empty scenery is the simplest background, which can highlight the main characters to the maximum extent. Aerial photography has strong adaptability and can be used to shoot all kinds of people.

When we encounter a messy background, we usually use a telephoto lens and a large aperture to control the depth of field to blur the background. A blurred background is called a virtual scene. Virtual scenes can also better highlight the main characters, which are more hierarchical and have more environmental characteristics than empty scenes.

2. Real scenes

The real scene refers to the environment within the depth of field or the environment without complete blur. The real scene is not a simple plane, but a scene with a sense of depth and space. It is an important part of the picture, which plays an important role in highlighting the main characters and enriching the connotation of photographic works.

Real scenes can explain the time, place and geographical environment of the characters, help to show the activities and events that the characters are engaged in, and are indispensable conditions for news photography and documentary characters.
