The composition skills of photography Jiugongge are introduced as follows:

Jiugongge Composition 8 Tip: 1. Set the nine squares in advance; 2. Arrange the main scene on the golden section; 3. Pay attention to the balance of the picture; 4. Leave enough space in front of the moving subject; 5. Leave enough space in front of the line of sight and direction; 6. Pay attention to the combination of action subject, line of sight direction and orientation with the selected golden section position; 7. Flexible application in combination with other composition methods; 8. Use Jiugongge to help accurate composition.

How to make good use of Jiugongge composition in mobile phone photography, the author suggests as follows:

1. Book the nine squares in advance.

Mainstream smartphones provide the option of "nine squares" (some are called "reference line", "grid" or "composition line") in their photo interfaces.

However, the default setting of most smartphones is "off", so be sure to turn on the camera in advance before using it. In general, you can open the nine squares in the camera interface by setting the path → camera → nine squares (some are called reference lines, grids or composition lines).

2. Set the theme on the golden section.

When taking pictures, the subject's scenery is arranged at any one of the four intersections (golden section) of Jiugongge, and the picture effect is immediate. Accurately speaking, it is to arrange the scene of the subject near the golden section, because photography is different from painting, and it is impossible to slowly conceive and ponder and accurately locate the subject at the golden section.

3. Pay attention to the picture balance

Although Jiugongge composition is easy to produce better visual effects, we should pay attention to the coordination and contact between the subject and the people around us, especially the balance of the picture. Generally speaking, the intersection of the upper left corner and the lower right corner can form the echo point of the balanced picture, and the intersection of the lower left corner and the upper right corner can form the echo point. Arranging the subject and companion at the corresponding echo points can get a more balanced and layered picture.

4. Leave enough space in front of the moving object.

When shooting a moving subject, pay attention to leaving enough space in front to keep a "force balance" with its development trend. This space is larger than the space behind the main body, and the theoretical ratio is 2: 1.

For example, if the subject moves to the left, it will be arranged at the golden section on the right side of the Jiugongge composition; When the subject moves to the top of the screen, it is arranged at the golden section below the nine squares. If the space in front of physical education subjects is not enough or small, it is easy to form an embarrassing picture of "hitting your head against the south wall", giving the audience a dull and depressing visual experience.

5. Leave enough space in front of the line of sight and direction.

Leave enough space within the line of sight of the subject or towards the front, which can avoid uncomfortable feeling and cause distraction.

6. Pay attention to the combination of the action subject, the direction and orientation of the line of sight and the selected golden section position.

Generally speaking, people's reading habits are from left to right and from top to bottom. After the line of sight moves, the viewpoint will stop at the lower right. Therefore, when composing, it is placed at the golden section on the right or bottom of the picture, which is more helpful to highlight the main body. In the composition of Jiugongge, a more ideal visual effect can be obtained by fully and skillfully combining this with the subject, sight or direction of movement and the left, up and left directions.

For example, if the subject moving to the left is arranged at the golden section at the lower right, then the audience's line of sight will often move from the left side to the right side of the screen, and finally stay on the subject, brainwashed by the momentum and direction of the subject, and the line of sight will unconsciously turn around and move to the left, so that the time for the line of sight to stay on the screen will naturally be extended and the work will be more "intriguing".

7. Flexible use in combination with other composing methods.

In addition to the composition of nine squares, there are also commonly used symmetrical composition, diagonal composition, S-shaped composition, C-shaped composition, triangular composition, trisection composition, horizontal composition, frame composition, vertical composition and so on. These composition methods are not contradictory to Jiugongge composition, but can be combined with each other, used flexibly and supplemented each other.

8. Use Jiugongge to help accurate composition

When using symmetrical composition, trisection composition, horizontal composition, frame composition, vertical composition and other composition methods, it is more convenient and effective to avoid the inclination of the horizon and ensure that the picture is horizontal and vertical, and to achieve more accurate composition with the help of the nine squares on the screen of the mobile phone.
