What are the forms of photographic composition?

1, golden section type

The so-called "golden section" is also called "Huang Jinlv". Although the names are different, the meanings are the same. Since ancient Greece, artists have divided the straight line L into two parts, so that the proportion of one part in the whole is equal to the rest.

The ratio of this part, that is, X: L = L-X: X, that is, the ratio of part to all is 0.6 18. Until19th century, people thought this proportion was in sculpture and beauty.

2. Composition of horizontal line

Also known as parallel composition, it mainly shows the horizontal line in nature, which is refined, selected and combined by photographers. Generally, the front direction is adopted, and the shooting angle can be varied, and you can look up, down and up.

Horizontal line composition, the picture is quiet, calm and peaceful. It is more suitable for shooting vast grasslands, quiet seas, fields and villages.

You can also take super-wide photos. Take 1-3 pictures in stages, the picture will be wider and the field of vision will be wider.

3, vertical line composition

Also called vertical composition, its composition features are suitable for representing tall buildings, emphasizing the height of objects, such as tall buildings, TV towers, chimneys, high-voltage towers, narrow streets in towns, the Great Wall of Wan Li, etc.

When using vertical lines to compose a composition, in order to fully express the height or depth of the scene, let the vision go beyond the scope of the picture and have the effect of infinite extension. Do not leave a white border above the photo, otherwise the viewer will feel "so far away" visually.

When shooting a picture composed of vertical lines, if the lens angle is not large enough or the shooting distance is too close, it can also be shot in sections, and the computer will automatically splice the picture with higher visual effect.

Extended data

The color tone of the photographic picture consists of the color tone between the light receiving surface and the backlight surface irradiated by the light source and the overall color tone generated by the light of the whole picture. Under the natural light source (sun), different light receiving surfaces and light and shade will be produced.

Therefore, the color tone is directional, which can be generally divided into: front light, side light and backlight. Directional effect can also be produced under artificial light source, which is mainly the result of lighting application.

Shadow reflects the main factors of the formal expression of the picture, and it is also the basis of the formal beauty of photographic composition. Shade can be understood from the perspective of the difference between photography and painting. The difference between them is that painting is to express the author's aesthetic consciousness and emotion by painting on canvas with pigments and brushes through people's subjective consciousness and skills.

Photography is to directly capture realistic images with a camera; Images are recorded through the photosensitive medium carried by the camera, and the photographer himself embodies aesthetic consciousness and emotion through the process of selecting images. Therefore, painting is a picture formed by pigments; Photography is a realistic image formed by light and shadow.

There are two forms of tone of photographic images, integrity and individuality.

The two depend on each other and influence each other, and the integrity is the main position. Photography is a tone formed on the screen by the action of light, which shows the information and aesthetic consciousness contained in the overall and individual tone. And through communication and display to reflect specific information and aesthetic characteristics, this embodiment is two-way communication.
