A companion for photographic composition

Accompanying body refers to an object that forms a certain plot with the subject on the screen and helps to express the characteristics and connotation of the subject. Some objects organized on the screen are in the company position, and they form a plot with the subject, which plays an important role in deepening the connotation of the subject and helping to explain the characteristics of the subject. Visual language will be much more accurate and vivid because of the accompanying body on the screen. Its function has the following characteristics: 1, and the partner deepens the connotation of the subject. From the work Fan of Technological Innovation, it shows that the main body of the picture is two workers. With the machine gear and the rice on the table, the machine, the workers and the rice together constitute the plot of technological innovation. As a companion, beside the big machine, there is a rich meal on the workbench, and the workers concentrate on their research, which makes the plot contain many connotations. Machines and meals on the table are the image language of workers, which reflects the true portrayal of workers forgetting to eat and sleep in the four modernizations. The visual language that the companion helps to express here is difficult to express in words.

2, the picture processing companion, in essence, is to deal with the plot. The choice of escort should be able to describe the characters and explain the characteristics of the event, that is, it should be typical (such as "Old Age Music"). 3. The arrangement of the picture partner must be based on the principle of not weakening the subject, and can't pretend to be the master. The area occupied by companions in the picture, the arrangement of colors, the direction of lines and the movements of characters must be closely related to the subject and cannot be separated from it. Because the layout of the picture is light and heavy, the accompanying body on the picture is often incomplete, and only the part that can explain the whole time is enough. Accompanying the whole body will weaken the main body. Don't covet perfection. We should proceed from the actual effect and choose the appropriate limit.

4. There are also direct and indirect treatments for companion. Sometimes you can't see the accompanying body directly in the painting. People say that although the companion is the object of the same plot as the subject, there are still some plot objects between the picture and the subject that are not in the picture, but outside the picture. The action expression of the subject on the screen is related to an object outside the screen. Although this object is not displayed on the screen, it will definitely appear in the viewer's imagination. This kind of performance is called the indirect performance of peers.

For the indirect treatment of peers, it is important to skillfully arrange the media to guide the imagination. The indirect treatment of the accompanying body is an artistic technique to construct the picture, which can expand the living capacity of the picture, create paintings outside the picture, let the imagination of the viewer participate in the creation of the meaning of painting, and arouse the room for appreciation and aftertaste. Therefore, the structural drawing should be viewed from the outside, the picture is outside, the picture is limited, and the painting is limited. Some classic paintings give people examples, such as "Deep Mountain Temple", which only depicts a young monk carrying water down a mountain stream; "Zhusuo Xiqiao Selling Pavilion" only wrote a wine word on the bamboo tip; In "Step on Flowers and Return to Horseshoe Fragrance", the horseshoe fragrance is not in the picture, and the picture only shows butterflies flying between horseshoes, leaving only imagination for the audience. These artistic ideas in painting are worth learning by photographers in conception and structure. When selecting and processing pictures, we should also consider the aesthetic requirements of lyricism, philosophy and implication, and learn to deal with the accompanying body in an indirect way to strengthen the expressive force and appeal of photographic pictures.
