The method of highlighting the key points in photography

1, highlighting the key points through the scale relationship:

An effective way to highlight the theme is to make it look different in size. The heroine in the huge advertisement in the picture above is much older than the real-life hero. By contrast, the black man in the corner looks so humble.

Breaking the normal proportional relationship, whether narrowing or enlarging, can achieve the ideal effect of highlighting the key points.

2. Highlight the main body through the frame:

Imagine a child behind barbed wire. His eyes are clear and transparent. No matter what restrictions he is subject to, he can't help being free. Such creative frames are everywhere, as long as you observe them carefully before shooting. But you should know that this picture frame composition is just a "gimmick", which is used to change the taste and cannot be abused. Of course, you don't want people to look at the frame more than the main body.

3. Highlight key points through layout:

As we know, the difference between a live photo and a live photo is that the photo is defined by four borders, and the live photo is continuous, so the viewer can turn his attention to any part around. So how the photographer arranges the still life in these four lines determines the success or failure of his work.

4. Highlight the key points by choosing the focus:

First, focus on your topic accurately. Secondly, if your subject is a person, let his/her eyes look directly at the camera and focus the viewer's attention on his/her eyes. Third, put the subject in the center of the picture.

5, through the lines to highlight the key points:

The converging lines point to the protagonist like arrows. These intersecting lines form a long corridor, which keeps people's eyes on this figure. Wide-angle lens enlarges the real space of foreground, reduces the relative size of human body and strengthens the sense of distance.

6. Highlight the theme with lights:

Remember, photography is all about your use of light at any time. It is not only a technical problem such as obtaining accurate exposure, but also a creative means. Whenever you look at the viewfinder, you should first look at the light, observe the effect of the light and experience the essence of the light. Highlighting the key points with light is one of the most powerful means.
