What are the common photographic composition techniques?

For photography, only by improving aesthetic thinking and mastering technical methods can we create works with soul! Come with me to see the composition skills of photography!

Changing composition

Deliberately arranged scenery in a corner or a side can give people thinking and imagination, leaving room for further judgment. Full of charm and interest. Often used in small landscapes, sports, artistic photography, humorous photos, etc. It sounds a little hard to understand, but it's not that difficult! For example, it is more suitable for you to shoot flowing streams and some moving objects, which is actually used a lot)

Sketch composition

By means of close-ups and ideas, it is a way of composition to turn a small scene that is not surprising into a humorous picture full of interest and profound meaning. It is characterized by free imagination and eclecticism. There are no certain rules in this composition. This estimate is hard for you to understand. Let me give an example! For example, it can be used when shooting flowerpots and flowers on the windowsill. It is very beautiful, fresh and elegant.

Having said so many things, I believe it is not difficult for you to finish reading them. Use it often! Yes! So I said it's just a matter of understanding. There is no need to struggle about which composition form to choose when shooting, because it will bind your inspiration and creativity! But when you shoot it yourself, subconsciously you should know how to shoot it. Usually, you should watch more and shoot more, so when you shoot, you will naturally form a subconscious mind of composition!

Jiugongge composition

Put the main body or important scenery in? Jiugongge? At the crossroads. ? Hmm? The four intersections of words are the best positions of subjects. Generally speaking, the intersection on the upper right is the most ideal, followed by the intersection on the lower right. But it is not static. This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, making the subject naturally become the visual center, with the characteristics of highlighting the subject and making the picture tend to be balanced. Actually, I think you use this most. This is what you usually use to take pictures of your boyfriend (girlfriend). Don't take a close-up selfie! )

Vertical composition

Can fully show the height and depth of the scene. It is often used to show pictures composed of vertical lines such as towering trees, steep rocks, waterfalls and skyscrapers. (For example: Go shopping with MM, and you will see tall buildings with a sense of science and technology. This is the composition you used. )

X shape composition

Lines and light and shade are arranged in an X-shape, which has a strong sense of perspective and is conducive to guiding people's sight to move from the periphery to the center, or the scenery has the characteristics of gradually enlarging from the center to the periphery. Often used in architecture, bridges, highways, fields and other themes. (This is suitable for street shooting and has a sense of extension. This perspective is also Xiao Mo's favorite. The shot works have a sense of hierarchy and space. )

Diagonal composition

Arranging the subject on the diagonal can effectively use the length of the diagonal of the picture, and at the same time, it can also make the companion have a direct relationship with the subject. Dynamic and lively, it is easy to produce the convergence trend of lines, attract people's attention and achieve the effect of highlighting the main body.

Triangular composition

Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the geometric composition of three points into a plane arranges the position of the scene to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible. (For example, I usually go out to eat food with friends, and I can use this form if I want to bask in my circle of friends! )

S combination

The scenery on the screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and producing a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling. When it is necessary to express the subject in the form of curve, we should first think of S-shaped composition. Commonly used in rivers, streams, winding paths, paths, etc. (this is still suitable for eating. )

Compact composition

Enlarge the main body of the scene in the form of close-up to make it full of pictures, compact, delicate and microscopic. Often used for portraits, micrographs or showing local details. Depicting a character's face vividly and unforgettable. (This is not difficult to understand. Personally, I think it is often used to shoot flowers, birds and cordyceps, that is, to shoot macro or local time. )

Centripetal component

The main body is in the center, and the surrounding scenery is in the form of composition concentrated towards the center, which can strongly lead people's eyes to the center of the main body and play a role in gathering. It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it will also produce the feeling of oppression and embarrassment. (We usually use this much less, in fact, it is the feeling of gathering around in the middle, with little change around, and the main body in the middle is prominent. )

equilibrium composition

Give people a sense of satisfaction, perfect picture structure, clever arrangement and balanced correspondence. It is often used for moonlit nights, water, night scenes, news and other topics. This kind of bar is used to shoot a quiet and peaceful feeling. You can usually shoot some still water for use. )

Symmetric synthesis

Its characteristics are balance, stability and relativity. Disadvantages: dull, lack of change. It is often used to represent symmetrical objects, buildings and objects with special styles. (This is even harder to understand, right! )

Fraction composition

Divide the picture into two parts with the ratio of 2: 1, forming a left-right echo or an up-and-down echo, and the performance space is relatively broad. One part of the picture is the subject and the other half is the partner. Often used to express people, sports, scenery, architecture and other themes. (This is not difficult to understand, that is, the picture is divided into two halves like the dividing line of 2: 1. In fact, I think this composition is sometimes used with the above two at the same time, and you can't tell what kind of composition it is. Of course, there is no point in obsessing about this! )
