Making good use of this function, taking photos and composing pictures is still very important.

For a photographer who has just started, composition is particularly important. Only after careful composition, can we emphasize and highlight the main body in the conception, abandon some miscellaneous and unrelated scenery and things, and properly choose the accompanying body and environment, so as to make the photographic works more concentrated and perfect what we see in real life.

If you want to master the law of composition, you can only do it step by step through constant practice and taking pictures. For example, one day, you come to a vast forest, and the towering trees in the sky are magnificent. At this time, you will immediately have an intuition in your mind that the forest is majestic. When you walk on the mountain path, the winding path and curve are more wonderful, and your mood will be another feeling. All these intuition and experience, plus my own artistic accomplishment, are reflected in the picture: the big forest … vertical … upward, the mountain road … curved … dynamic, which is a good composition rule. If you make artistic treatment when shooting, you can make the photos more satisfactory.

Photography is inseparable from composition. A well-composed photo and a poorly composed photo will give people a completely different feeling.

Composition is actually a foreign word, which translates into composition, structure and connection, and is also called "layout" and "composition" in Chinese painting theory. Composition is also one of the important modeling methods of all plastic arts. Generally speaking, photographic composition is to make appropriate, reasonable and comfortable arrangements for people or things, their companions and the environment on the screen, and to use artistic skills and technical means to strengthen or weaken some parts of the screen, so as to finally achieve the artistic effect of making the theme image prominent, the layout between the subject and the companions diverse and unified, the photo picture dense and symmetrical, and making the theme idea fully and perfectly expressed. This is the role of composition in the process of photography creation.
