Photography, structural skills, appreciation knowledge.

Photographic composition and painting composition are actually interlinked.

Point-line-surface combination, visual center of gravity, golden section and so on.

Point: for example, the lights in the overlooking city, shells on the beach, etc., all appear in the picture in the form of points.

Lines: such as telephone poles and wires in cities. Overlooking the street trend in the city, the expansion line of buildings, the curve in the human body, etc. We pull out the three-dimensional scenery and get linear things which are interspersed in the picture.

Face: What should I say about this, such as color block,

These mixed combinations produce aesthetic feeling, which is the result of the choice and combination of photos and photographers' mental work.

In order to find these, you should learn to think abstractly and observe the structure of specific scenery graphics with points, lines and planes.

I want to say it in a few words, but I can't say it clearly.

Visual center of gravity: There are many ways to use light and shadow, for example, the illumination of the theme is the highest in the whole photo, and vice versa. Through the choice of aperture and focus, the depth of field and realism of the background are controlled. The commonly used method is that in portrait photography, people are real, the background is fuzzy, and the characters stand out naturally. This is a simple method.

The golden section, this probably need not be repeated.

After saying such a mess, you can actually try to examine a photo with your own intuition first, why you like it, and think carefully about the reasons.

No one likes photos with no prominent theme and no emphasis on visual center of gravity. Because this is human instinct.

Favorite photos must be the same. Observe him carefully and make some analysis according to the above. How does he emphasize the key points, whether it is the combination of points, lines and planes, light and shadow, or the choice of depth of field and reality? Or a combination thereof. There are no rules here, you should remember!

Never deny the truth.

That's all. Actually, it's not enough I hope I can help you.
