Still life photography skills

For still life shooting, there is no limit to the number of theme elements. So composition is particularly important. Before shooting, we should fully consider how to make our work achieve the best combination of various elements, which can not only make the picture look full, but also grasp the visual focus of the audience and not make the picture look messy.

1, three-point composition method

Three-point composition is the most basic and safest composition method in photography. Divide the top, bottom, left and right of the picture into three equal parts, and their four bisectors intersect into four points, which is called the interesting center point, which is the best place to arrange works.

2. Dispersed composition

For shooting non-single objects, scattered point composition is the most commonly used composition method in still life photography. Random composition is a kind of free and loose composition structure, covering the whole picture without deliberately highlighting an object. Organize the pictures according to density or hue, so that the chaotic pictures are placed in order. This composition method can give full play to the photographer's creative space, but it should make the picture look too messy.

3. Diagonal composition

Diagonal composition is a composition with the greatest visual impact and the strongest sense of movement. If you choose it properly, the effect will be good.

4, triangle composition

Triangular composition is usually a triangular whole composed of three themes with the same nature. Because the three sides of a triangle are composed of straight lines in different directions, different straight lines form different forms of triangles, and different trends and changes will bring different feelings to people.
