Photographic layout photo

Photo typesetting, I believe many people know that taking photos requires typesetting, and the photos will look better after typesetting. Many people will understand "layout" as "composition", which is not wrong. After all, the layout and composition are quite similar. Let's take a look at the photos in the photography section.

The photo layout of 1 can show the logical relationship of photographic works.

As far as picture layout is concerned, we can understand how layout arranges the logical relationship between picture elements-yes, photographic works must also be logical.

For example, a photographer takes a photo among flowers, and a model holds flowers in his hand and looks at them with his eyes. The logical relationship of this portrait photography is complete; If the model holds flowers in her left hand and looks at her right hand, the reader will be surprised ... What is the model thinking?

Picture layout should conform to daily aesthetics.

Photography lovers have all had the experience of novices. Generally speaking, photographers like to put the subject in the middle of the picture, while those who have some shooting experience are used to shooting a single subject with a three-point composition.

Why? Because the composition of the trichotomy is closer to the golden section and more in line with daily aesthetics.

For example, flower photography can be taken at any time. When we shoot A Flower, most people will choose to use three-dimensional composition. Few people will put a flower directly in the middle of the photo, because in the case of only one flower, putting a flower in the middle of the photo will seem a bit dull.

The layout should pay attention to the echo between picture elements.

Photographs are silent expressions. The content of the photo is not only clear at a glance, but also makes readers think deeply. Therefore, photographers should also pay attention to the "echo" relationship between picture elements when "layout".

Photographs of photographic layout 2 1, with central symmetry composition method.

The centrosymmetric composition method divides the picture into two parts, up and down or left and right, which accords with the aesthetics of China people. When shooting a portrait with symmetrical composition, put the figure on the central axis of the picture, which can make the whole picture harmonious and highlight the main body of the figure without destroying the structural characteristics of its own picture.

Symmetrical composition is also often used to shoot landscapes, which can add a solemn and solemn feeling to photos. Because it is more atmospheric and more in line with the aesthetics of the public, this composition is also very suitable for shooting landscapes or characteristic buildings, such as the symmetrical reflection of the following buildings in the water.

2, three equal composition method

A composition that is often used in taking pictures is the "three-point composition method", which is also called the three-point composition method or the "tic-tac-toe method". It is to divide the picture into three parts: up, down, left and right, forming four intersections, and placing the subject to be photographed on one of these four points to highlight the subject.

This photo composition method is especially suitable for taking portraits. No matter whether the characters are in the left or right third position, they can highlight the characters well and make the whole picture more harmonious and comfortable.

3. Elliptic synthesis method

If the effect you want doesn't need to highlight the theme, use the oval composition method. Elliptical composition can form a cool feeling, and also has the effects of focusing, rotating and moving, especially highlighting the atmosphere of the subject and the content of the rendered picture. If there are oval elements around you, they can be used for composition.

4. Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition, that is, when taking pictures, put the person or other object you want to express on the diagonal of the picture composition. If you take pictures, you can lengthen your figure proportion. If you take pictures, you can have a sense of extension and three-dimensionality, which is very beautiful.

5, vertical composition method

The shooting technique of vertical composition is mostly used to shoot trees and buildings. This kind of thing itself has a vertical effect, and you can directly use this composition to take photos with not only height but also depth. Of course, you can also use vertical composition when taking portraits, and you can also have a high character effect.

6.s-shaped composition method

As the name implies, the S-shaped composition method is to use the S-shaped curve to lay out the scenery or picture, and the picture obtained has both a sense of harmony and aesthetic feeling, which is very suitable for shooting the beautiful scenery of nature.

For example, when we shoot flowers, we "put out" a bud next to the blooming flowers; Photographers use the desolate shooting environment to set off the light when shooting portraits-these are the modes that make the picture elements echo each other.

When shooting photographs of any subject, we should pay attention to the correlation between picture elements. Careful study of the layout of the picture can not only make the work more beautiful, but also make the photos more attractive.

Photo Layout 3 Differences between Layout and Composition

The layout and composition are different.

Layout is to reasonably arrange the subject and companion in the picture, so that the subject is in a visually important position.

Composition is to look at all the elements in the picture from different angles, including the application of foreground, background, light, color and lines, so that the photo looks balanced and the theme is prominent.

Therefore, the scope of composition is wider, which is the framework of a photo, and the layout is only a part of composition.

So, is it composition first and then layout or layout first and then composition? There is no clear order for this.

For example, the following glass of milk and several chaperones, with milk in the middle and chaperones around, is the layout, which makes people know that milk is the key at a glance.

So it is a good choice to compose such a layout in a way of overlooking and centering.

How to lay out the theme?

1. When there is only one subject, no matter where it is placed, it is very prominent.

For example, the following picture, without pictures, was cut in three ways. By changing the position of the subject, you will find that it stands out no matter where you arrange it.

This is easy to understand, because there is only him in the picture, so there is nothing to see without looking at him, right?

However, when taking pictures in the future, even if the picture has only one subject, don't put it in the corner.

Every position in the picture expresses different emotions.

For example, the narrow position in front of the line of sight indicates that people's emotions are very negative; It's too high. I feel unstable.

2. When the picture has multiple subjects or many other interference factors, the layout is particularly important.

The layout is not good, and the picture is not focused; With the layout, the foil in the picture can highlight the main body better.

For a very simple example, for example, the following three geese saw the middle one at first sight, so it was the key.

I cropped the picture twice, and now I feel that the second one is the focus.

Then the picture was cut and the third picture became the focus again.

It is concluded that the closer to the middle position, the easier it is to attract visual attention, that is, the visual center.

Therefore, when we lay out the layout, the subject you shoot must be close to the middle of the picture, which has the function of visual guidance and is very practical when the environment is chaotic or there are many subjects.

Of course, the layout of the picture is far more than that, and there are many ways to guide the visual center.

Using the contrast between reality and reality, the real focus is always the focus, then the position of the subject can not be in the middle;

Contrast between light and shade, bright objects are the most eye-catching;

Color contrast, small-scale color is the most prominent. Many street photos use blue walls as the background. When a man in red appears, click and take it away. At this time, no matter how small a person is, it is also very prominent.

For example, the picture below makes good use of the contrast between light and shade and the actual situation to make the grass stand out.
