Composition rules commonly used in photography

The composition rules commonly used in photography are recommended as follows:

1, tic-tac-toe combination

Two horizontal lines and two vertical lines are evenly distributed in the picture, the picture is divided into nine parts horizontally and vertically to form a well shape, and the main bodies in the picture are arranged at the intersection of the well shapes, that is, the well shape composition. Because the picture is divided into nine parts, TIC-tac-toe composition is also called Jiugongge composition.

2. Triangular synthesis

Dividing the picture into three parts horizontally or vertically is called trisection composition. Using the three-point composition, the picture can be divided into three parts on average, and the proportion of each part can be flexibly divided according to the picture situation.

3, guide wire composition

Street lamps, bridges, streets and other things that can stretch out into the distance to form lines in our lives can all be used as materials to guide line composition. Using the guide line composition can well guide the audience's line of sight to the distance and make the line of sight have a focus on the map.

4. Composition of convergence line

Some lines in the picture extend in the same direction and converge at the ends of the lines. Composition with such a picture is called convergence line composition. Usually, two or more lines are needed to produce convergence effect, so as to guide the audience's line of sight from near to far, and let the audience have a strong sense of space and depth visually.

5. Symmetrical composition

When the subject has a symmetrical relationship, we can use symmetrical composition to express the picture, which is rigorous and pursues the unity and harmony of the scenery on both sides of the picture. In mathematical geometry, symmetrical figures themselves give people a sense of stability and balance. When we use this balance in photography, the photos we take will give people a harmonious, balanced and straight feeling.
