At a glance? How to use structure to improve photo quality

Central composition is to put the subject in the middle of the picture when shooting, so that the focus of shooting falls in the center of the picture. The central composition extends the symmetrical composition method, but the two composition methods are not the same.

use

The central composition method is often used to shoot a single subject, which can play a very good role in highlighting.

Attention should be paid to avoid the messy and complicated background when shooting. We can blur the background with a large aperture or a long focal length to make the subject stand out from the background and emphasize the theme.

Triangular synthesis

Triangular composition, also known as "nine-grid composition method", puts the subject on four bisectors or four intersections of the picture when shooting.

use

When shooting in three equal parts, try to occupy the last two frames of the picture, and the proportion and center of gravity will be more coordinated.

The horizontal version of the picture is more suitable for three-point shooting, and it is easier to shoot a cold film. It can also be used with blank combinations.

Frame composition

Frame composition method is to frame the subject with a "frame" when shooting to play a prominent role. There is no limit to "frame", which can be a physical frame or a light frame.

use

The addition of the border can give the picture a sense of depth from the outside to the inside, making the whole more layered. The prospect of frame composition method is generally real, and props such as door frames and window frames can be used.

Triangular composition

Triangle composition is a typical composition form in portrait photography, which is divided into regular triangle, inverted triangle and oblique triangle.

use

When shooting, use the limbs of the character subject to form a triangle. With three visual support points as three vertices, the human face is usually located at the top of the triangle as the visual center, forming a stable triangle, in which the oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible.

Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition method is to create an obvious diagonal effect in the picture. You can put the subject on the diagonal, or you can put the subject in a corner of the picture to create an obvious diagonal effect.

use

The form of diagonal is not limited, and it can be a straight line or a curve, which is generally the direction of diagonal.

Diagonal composition belongs to a kind of guide line composition, so it also emphasizes the subject with the help of the visual guide effect of the guide line.

Guiding line composition

The composition method of the guide line is to put the main body of the character on the convergence point of the guide line. Using the visual convergence effect of the guide line (perspective principle), the viewer's line of sight is focused on the main body, thus highlighting the main body.

use

Attention should be paid to the selection of guide wires. We can consider the perspective principle and make good use of the surrounding environment.

The common guiding lines in daily shooting are: the road and its extension (Trojan horse route and zebra crossing on both sides of the road, etc. ), railings, corridors, tunnels, direct light.

Blank composition

Blank composition method is to "blank" the whole picture in a large area, but blank here not only refers to the filling of solid background, but also can be a simple environment, such as sky, grass, sea and so on.

use

Try to leave white space in one direction, for example, if the character faces right, then you can leave the right side of the character blank.

Try to shoot a single theme. If there are multiple subjects, you need to pay attention to the layout of the screen.

Symmetrical composition

Symmetric composition method is an extension of central composition method, which allows the subject to form a symmetrical relationship in the picture, which can be up-down symmetry, left-right symmetry or oblique symmetry.

use

Symmetrical composition has no limit on the number of individuals to be photographed, and can be used to photograph a single person or two or more people. Suitable for shooting scenes with empty scenes and large objects, such as buildings, scenery, reflections, etc. Can make the whole picture more shocking.
