Triangular structural characteristics

Triangle composition is characterized by stability, balance but elasticity.

Three visual centers are the main positions of the scene, and sometimes the scene is arranged in a three-point geometric structure to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle, in which the oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. In a word, triangle composition has the characteristics of stability, balance but flexibility.

Characteristics of three-way synthesis

Three-way composition takes three visual centers as the main position of the scene, and sometimes three-point plane geometry is used to arrange the scene to form a stable triangle.

This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle, in which the oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced but flexible.

Triangular composition, in which the subject in the picture is placed in a triangle or the image itself forms a triangle, is a visual induction method. If there is a triangle formed by a shape or a shadow, if it is a naturally formed linear structure, the main body can be arranged in the center of the hypotenuse of the triangle in order to make a breakthrough. But the effect is the best only when panoramic view is used. Triangle composition produces a sense of stability, while inversion is unstable, highlighting tension. Can be used for close-up people, close-up and other different scenes of photography.
