Digital photography composition from entry to mastery

How do we need to learn composition well? Having the first camera is like being brought into a magical world. We use it to record every touching moment in our life journey and freeze it into a beautiful memory, which can be preserved and shared forever. We all hope that our works can attract people's attention and win their appreciation. However, we often feel that our photos are not professional enough. Why are some people's works more attractive? Much depends on the composition! Excellent photographers have a strong ability to choose and arrange scenes, just like choosing words and making sentences, combing and arranging scenes, and showing them from their own unique perspective. So, how can we learn composition well?

The composition begins with observation and imitation.

When we explore a strange field and learn a new skill, observation and imitation are the best teachers. Reading other people's works, especially excellent works, is a direct way of reference and learning. In our daily life, painting, TV, movies, photos, advertisements, etc. Are conveying a popular aesthetic standard. By consciously analyzing, combing and enriching this knowledge and applying it to photography, you will find that you have improved your composition skills in this subtle way.

Learn the classic composition rules by heart.

The analysis and summary of daily life will have some personal limitations. When you have some basic knowledge of composition, you should systematically learn some classic composition rules. For example, the golden section and the trisection, focus on the picture, make full use of contrast, pay attention to lines and instantaneous movements, and so on. These rules are summed up by many photographers in their constant practice, and memorizing them by heart is a shortcut to learning composition.

Let the composition method automatically jump out.

Remembering some typical composition rules does not mean that you can shoot excellent photographic works. A good sense of composition is not achieved overnight, and it takes hard work and constant practice to be handy. A simple way is to collect some excellent works of similar scenes and print them out for reference before each shooting. As long as you persevere and practice for a long time, all kinds of composition skills will remain in your mind. When shooting on the spot, the corresponding composition method will automatically jump out for you to choose, which is the result of more practice.

Break away from convention and seek a breakthrough

For beginners, you can usually take better photos by following the rules of composition. However, in the wonderful world of photography, there is no completely fixed standard for "beauty". When we can skillfully use various composition techniques and follow some fixed composition patterns, we will often fall into a limited city. Only by breaking through the innovation under the premise of mastering the law can we take more touching photos, form our own unique artistic style, and truly achieve "shine on you is better than blue"!

brief Introduction of the content

No matter how different your views on photographic composition are, you must always admit that a good composition is more influential and infectious than a bad composition. Therefore, the ultimate goal of photography is to increase the thematic effect of photos, but a photo without a theme, no matter how perfect the composition, is also empty and failed. Composition is the process of identifying and organizing elements to produce harmonious photos. Every object in the photo is an element in the composition. Learning composition is just like learning a language. Once you learn a language, it is no longer something you need to keep taking exams, because speaking is a subconscious behavior, and what you say is the focus of your attention. I think photographers and photographers should try their best to express what they want to express in fluent composition language. Different from other arts, photography is essentially an art of choice. We must choose a place from the real world for mounting, and organize and arrange the main materials in the mounting area. In fact, the choice is to consciously edit the picture, rather than passively include everything. Consider topics that can be deleted to simplify and enhance information. When all the elements in your framework are useful rather than wasted, you are successful. In my opinion, in photography, it is difficult to sum up the composition rules that can absolutely make photos beautiful, but it is necessary to advise photographers to test the conventional rules, because only after testing can they determine whether they will abide by or break these rules, and the freedom of photography composition is achieved by observing and breaking the rules. The purpose of writing this book is to test the laws that have been familiar or ignored by everyone in a practical way. I don't suggest that we must shoot according to the rules of our practice. On the contrary, a beautiful photo may be obtained by breaking the rules. Let's start with understanding the law and try to break it, so that we can make real progress from practice.
