How is the master photographer constructed?

Lead: steve mccurry, in today's humanities photography, is definitely a master of the second brother level, even if he can't be a brother. Here is a brief introduction to the composition methods commonly used by this master.

0 1 three-point composition method

One of the most classic and practical composition rules. Divide the picture into three equal parts horizontally and vertically to form a nine-square grid. The main body should fall on the intersection of nine squares.

All four intersections are visual centers, so important objects, such as human heads, should be placed at intersections.

02 find the guide line

Use lines and even color blocks in the picture to guide the reader's attention and lead it to the same focus.

Diagonal synthesis method

Slant lines can make photos more active and avoid rigidity.

04 looking for a framework

Observe the scene carefully and make full use of the frame elements in the picture, such as windows, doors and holes.

Place the body in the geometric frame.

Find the contrast between the background and the subject.

It is best for the subject and background to form a certain correlation or contrast.

Fill the screen

Being as close to the subject as possible not only compresses the redundant elements of Jiao Wai, but also creates a visual sense of shock and oppression.

The main eye is placed on the center line of the picture.

When taking a portrait, put the main eye of the character on the central axis of the photo.

08 texture, repeating elements

Texture and repetitive elements bring harmony and order.

But this kind of photo will be boring if it is not handled well, so it is best to have some conflicting elements in the picture.

The so-called conflict element can be either human or color contrast.

09 symmetrical composition method

The simplest and original composition method can effectively increase the sense of balance in photos, and it is always tried and tested.
