Share the artistic skills of photography blank space

Lead: Many players learn photography from sketching their lives. In fact, this theme is also the fastest way to accumulate photographic composition and light. Find out the improvement methods from the photos that fail in daily life. The picture is full and the big theme is in the middle, which is not the only way to share. Appropriate blank space can also bring infinite daydream space to the audience!

Blanking makes the image more story-telling.

When shooting a sketch, besides color, light and shadow, lines, the choice of picture arrangement is also a key factor affecting the visual balance of the picture. Filling the screen with the main body can make people understand the key points at a glance, but it will make the screen too dull. Therefore, it is suggested that players can leave the image blank appropriately, just like a dot on a blank paper, which can not only extend the imagination of the viewer, but also make the mind unlimited.

However, there are two ways to leave it blank. The first way is to keep only the main body, so that it only occupies a small part of the picture, and the others are treated as a large number of blank spaces; The second is to bring the subject and related scenery into the picture from a broader perspective, so that viewers can understand the relationship and interaction between the main and supporting roles and give the picture more story.

▲ A large number of blank composition techniques can make the image more story-telling and imaginative.

▲ Single subject and warm color temperature, plus a lot of white space on the right, what does the photographer want to present? Lonely? Atmosphere.

Looking for inspiration in geometric lines

Our life is full of geometric lines, and lines with different directions and shapes will bring different emotions and feelings to the viewers. For example, the horizontal and vertical lines can present a sense of stability, vastness, towering and solemnity; Circular and radial lines usually become the visual center of gravity in the picture, bringing visual effects of deep penetration, extension or diffusion and contraction; Curves and lines can create a sense of rhythm in the picture, giving people a lively, rhythmic and beautiful emotional feeling.

Therefore, just like studying psychology, readers can give full play to the advantages of these line elements as long as they can understand the inherent meaning represented by various lines and bring the information they want to convey to the viewer while cooperating with appropriate composition. If the line tension of the subject with shallow depth of field can be moderately strengthened, or the three-dimensional sense of the line can be enhanced by making good use of the light and shadow changes formed in the light direction, I believe the image performance will be better than before.

In addition, players can also use the details or changes observed in their lives to add interesting composition elements to the picture, which can make the overall image more effective. For example, the gradual change of color and the direction of light and shade are all line elements that can be used in composition. The color gradient has certain directionality, and people's eyes will not only move along the gradient direction, but also the color will gradually change, which is also very eye-catching, which is very common in morning and evening photography; In addition, the light from bright to dark or from dark to bright is another extension of the line. No matter what the extension direction, it can make the picture full of tension and make the viewer aftertaste again and again.

▲ The composition of geometric lines is very common in life, and you can find it as long as you pay close attention.

▲ Proper treatment of the lines in the picture can make the picture beautiful and guide the line of sight.
