Composition skills are a compulsory course for every photographer. Abiding by certain composition principles will make your work more impressive. Here we will introduce you to five creative composition tips. I hope you can break through yourself and shoot creative and artistic photography.

Creative composition: interesting photography

1. Clear the theme

Capture what touches you.

Film friends who have studied photography for a while may ask: What else can I shoot? A clear theme is the best answer to this question. When you are a beginner, the main purpose of picking up a camera may be to familiarize yourself with the camera settings. After a period of time, after you are familiar with your equipment, you need to consider more questions-what is the source of your creativity?

Experienced photographers are no longer like novices who press the shutter and then glance at the LCD screen to confirm whether the parameters are correct. At this time, photography rose as a medium to convey information. They expose reality or express their views through the lens. At this time, it is no longer their pursuit to shoot a correctly exposed photo, but the purpose of shooting their works is to liberate their imagination and express a clear theme.

2. Visual blur

Visual ambiguity actually conflicts with clear themes. Shooting a clear theme gives you the opportunity to convey your feelings to the viewer through photography, while the visual blur leaves the viewer with room for imagination. Visual blur conveys vague information to the viewer by highlighting some special elements in photographic works. Photos that make people visually ambiguous often highlight the details of things and ignore the overall outline.

Step 3 be abstract

Visual special effects

The focus of abstract photography often stays on the visual attributes of objects, rather than their essence, beauty and details. Like abstract painters, abstract photographers not only pay attention to the overall visual effect of the subject, but also use visual languages such as colors, lines and shapes to convey information in their photographs. Through abstraction, photographers have found a unique perspective and way of looking at conventional things.

4. Mirage on the scene

Enlarge the details of the building and deliberately ignore the whole.

Common photographic works usually pay attention to the integrity of the subject, but the audience accustomed to this kind of photographic works often like to appreciate the strong visual effect of the works without thinking, and their eyes wander around in similar works. However, those looming photos often catch the viewer's eye, because they only show some details, leaving a rich imagination space for the viewer.

Capture change

Capturing change refers to the use of photographic works to express the subject's scale, color, light and shade and other subtle details. By expressing the change of the subject, it is easy to guide the viewer to relax and enter the situation described in the photographic works. For example, messy and irregular hilly areas, turbulent seas and so on are all good themes for creation.
