The relationship between golden section and photography

An excellent photographic work should not only have a profound theme and content, but also have a beautiful form and a harmonious composition consistent with the content. Beginners of photography, understanding and mastering the golden section method in framing is very helpful to improve the aesthetic value of their works.

The golden section divides a straight line into two parts, and the ratio of one part to the whole is equal to the ratio of the other part to this part. The approximate ratios of 2: 3, 3: 5 and 5: 8 are often used to introduce art design and photographic composition, also known as Huang Jinlv. In photographic composition, the common method is to draw two horizontal lines and vertical lines parallel to the edge and divide the picture into nine equal squares. This method is called Nine palace map. The four points where a straight line intersects a horizontal line are called golden section points. According to the experience, arranging the main scene near the golden section can give full play to the organizational role of the main scene on the screen, which is conducive to the coordination and connection of the surrounding scenes, easy to cause aesthetic feeling, produce better visual effects, and make the main scene more distinct and prominent.

In addition, people have a habit of reading pictures and books, that is, looking from left to right. After moving, the viewpoint often falls on the right, so it is best to put the main scenery and eye-catching images on the right when composing.
