How to objectively understand photographic composition?

Those who have studied painting or engineering in the early days, one is composition research, and the other is perspective processing of geometric figures.

The method of composition, in fact, composition is not so mysterious, shape is the most basic element. It is controlled by people's subjective consciousness. Before we press the shutter, how to compose the image determines the success or failure of the image to a certain extent.

Objects in life are not isolated. The first thing you see is the shape in the picture. Different lights emphasize different things. Semicircle, circle, ellipse, equilateral, isosceles, right angle, S shape, L shape, acute angle, obtuse angle, etc. You can use the size and direction of a triangle to make a composition. Comparison between regular and irregular graphics, and various irregular graphics. Other composition methods, vertical composition, diagonal composition, perspective traction line composition, V-shaped composition, Y-shaped composition, W-shaped composition, Z-shaped composition, cross-shaped composition, C-shaped composition, radial composition, frame-shaped composition, format composition, trisection composition, nine-square grid composition, symmetrical composition, dispersed composition and central composition.

The visual feeling and thinking feeling of lines in our life, regardless of thickness, are composed of lines of different shapes, giving people different feelings.

In composition, visual perception and contrast between light and shade are also particularly important. Through lines, shapes, textures, and three-dimensional lines, the image can be properly shaped.

One principle of composition is that the theme should be clear and the picture should be concise. It is said that photography is the art of subtraction. Learning composition, simple pictures will make the theme stand out and make everything in life become unusual pictures.

A composition principle, referring to the golden ratio, can highlight the theme by putting people in the golden ratio. There is also a principle, the nine-square grid method, which puts four points in the picture to avoid the rigidity of symmetrical composition.

Of course, the composition of photography is the accumulation of experience. Practice more in the early stage and constantly cultivate your own frame consciousness.

As Shell Song said, the decisive moment is often to look at the world from a normal perspective for something waiting at a certain moment.

Horizontal frames generally use the horizon to express nature, comfort and peace. The mullion gives people a feeling of being tall and majestic.

The shooting angle is head-up (kind and natural portrait), overlooking (space portrait) and looking up (slender thighs). According to the different shooting distances, there are close shots, close shots, middle shots, panoramic shots and distant views.
