Three common ingredients

There are three common compositions: depth of field composition, symmetrical composition and three-point composition.

Common components are described in detail as follows:

Depth of field composition

Depth of field composition is a composition method that divides the picture into three parts: foreground, middle scene and background, and expresses the sense of depth through different focuses. The composition of depth of field can make the picture more stereoscopic and realistic, and at the same time, it can also highlight the subject.

In depth of field composition, we usually pay attention to the following points:

Choice of focus: Generally speaking, you need to choose an appropriate focus to display the required depth of field.

Application of fuzzy effect: by blurring the areas that do not need to be highlighted, the subject can be made more prominent.

Symmetrical composition

Symmetrical composition is concise and clear, with a strong sense of balance. It is a composition method that divides the picture into left and right equal parts or upper and lower equal parts, and creates a sense of stability through visual symmetry. Symmetrical composition can convey a sense of order and balance.

In symmetrical composition, we should pay attention to the following points:

Setting of center position: the setting of center position should be accurate and reasonable to achieve the best symmetry effect.

Color matching: In order to preserve the symmetry of color, we need to consider the color matching of each area.

Triangular synthesis

Three-point composition is a composition method that divides the picture into upper, middle and lower or left, middle and right to achieve picture balance and visual guidance. Through the segmentation of the picture, the audience is guided to look in a specific direction.

In the three-point composition, we should pay attention to the following points:

Clarify the subject: different areas of three-part composition have different dominant positions on the subject position, so make sure the subject is in the most eye-catching position.

Use contrast: enhance the picture effect by means of color, contrast between light and dark, line bending and so on.

Expand knowledge:

Composition refers to the process of arranging the position, size, shape and color of each element in the picture according to certain rules, proportions and rhythms, so as to make it orderly and harmoniously express the theme and feelings. It is very important in photography, painting, design and other fields. In-depth study of composition theory can help us better build pictures and express our thoughts and emotions.
