Where is the far horizon above and below the head when taking pictures?

Where is the far horizon above and below the head when taking pictures? First of all, it is clear that the most taboo is that the horizon (including other obvious lines) passes through the neck of the character, commonly known as "neck cutting". Similarly, don't "cut your face, neck or waist", which will make you feel very uncomfortable. As shown below, the horizon in the background has cut the girl's neck. Although it is blurred, it is still obvious.

Even taking a silhouette of a portrait is "disastrous" if the horizon (including other obvious lines) passes through the neck, waist and face of the character.

▲ "Neck cutting" is also a disastrous composition in silhouette portraits.

Individuals prefer to put the characters above or below the horizon, but whether the horizon is above or below the characters depends on the shooting environment and creative intention.

▲ The figure is below the horizon, and the figure highlights the environment as a foil.

▲ The characters are above the horizon, highlighting the main body of the characters.

But it should be noted that the sky and the ground often give people a completely different feeling. Usually the sky is bright and the color is relatively simple and fresh, which often symbolizes "freedom" and "vitality". The brightness of the ground is low, and the colors are relatively rich and heavy, giving people a feeling of "depression" or "stability". Take the following figure as an example. The horizon is located in the lower part of the picture, and the proportion of the sky is much larger than that of the ground. Even if most of the sky is covered with leaves, it will not affect the overall relatively fresh atmosphere.

▲ The horizon is at the bottom of the picture. Even if most of the sky is covered with leaves, it will not affect the overall relatively fresh atmosphere.

On the contrary, the following picture, raising the height of the horizon and reducing the proportion of the sky, has the opposite effect to the above picture, which can give people a feeling of depression.
