The most important thing is to know how to compose a photograph....

Photography of several compositional methods

Photography of several compositional methods, want to be proficient in photography, then you need to know some skills and methods, such compositional methods are also every novice need to learn, photography also need to practice from time to time, the following for you to share photography of several compositional methods.

Photography of several compositional methods 1

1, horizontal line composition

Horizontal line composition is more commonly used in the performance of the vast landscape, such as the sea, the lake, the grasslands and such subjects.

When you take a picture, you can compose it according to the position of the horizontal line to show the subject. For example, if the subject we are shooting is a lake, then we can place the horizontal line at 1/4 or 1/5 of the picture and focus on the lake below the horizontal line.

Then if your subject is the sky, then the horizontal line can be placed 1/4 or 1/5 of the way down the frame.

2. Vertical line composition

Vertical line composition is more commonly used in the performance of trees or buildings, which will give people a kind of upward, firm, upright feeling.

If you want to show the upward growth of trees or other vertical scenery, it is best not to leave white on the top of the photo, so as to leave the audience with this subject is an infinite extension.

3, S-shaped curve composition

If there is an S-shaped curve in the picture, then you can consider using this kind of composition, generally to show the female body, or in the shooting of the river, the road will be often used.

4, oblique composition

oblique composition, that is, the main image of the picture is presented as a tilted line, the visual sense of movement will be stronger. Generally speaking, this type of composition is often used when shooting intense racing or other speedy competitions.

5, triangle composition

Triangle has stability, we all know, when you take pictures of the use of this composition is the same effect. It is used to show the stability of the characters, the majesty of nature.

6, guide line composition

This composition is more commonly used in the shooting of bridges or straight roads, so that the picture has a strong sense of depth, while enhancing the picture at the end of the mysterious, unknown sense.

For example, in the photo below, the pile of rocks in the foreground is a guide line that leads the eye to the boat at the far end.

7, scattered point composition

Scattered point composition is to dispersed point of the shape of the composition of the picture, its main feature is "scattered but not God". It is more commonly used to shoot the ground cattle, sheep or horses, or grass scattered flowers. The picture has a strong sense of rhythm.

8, three-part composition

The whole picture is divided into nine identical areas, the subject will be arranged in the four intersection of the division line or any one of the division line.

The three-pointed composition avoids a dull, uninteresting image.

Some basic methods of photography composition

A balanced composition gives a feeling of fulfillment, the picture structure is perfect, the arrangement is ingenious, corresponding and balanced.

Often used in moonlight, water, night scenes, news and other subjects.

Second, the diagonal composition of the main body arranged in the diagonal, can effectively utilize the length of the diagonal of the screen, but also make the companion and the main body of a direct relationship.

Rich in dynamics, lively, easy to produce lines of convergence trend, attracting people. Line of sight, to achieve the effect of highlighting the subject (such as spotlighting the subject).

Third, the nine-panel composition (also known as tic-tac-toe composition) will be the subject or an important scene on the "nine-panel" intersection of the location.

The four intersections of the word "well" is the best position for the subject. It is generally recognized that the upper right intersection is ideal, followed by the lower right intersection. But it's not set in stone.

This composition format is more in line with people's visual habits, so that the subject naturally become the visual center, with a prominent subject, and make the picture tend to be balanced.

Fourth, vertical composition can fully display the scene of the height and depth.

Often used in the performance of the forest trees, steep rocks, waterfalls, skyscrapers, and other vertical linear composition of the picture.

V. Curve composition The scene on the S-shaped curve composition form, with the prolongation of the characteristics of change, so that people look rhythmic, resulting in a beautiful, elegant, coordinated 'feeling.

When you need to use a curved form to show the subject, you should first think of using the S-shaped composition.

Often used in rivers, streams, winding paths, trails, and so on.

Sixth, frame composition with the frame of the scene as the foreground, can increase the vertical contrast and decorative effect of the picture, so that the photo produces a sense of depth.

Seven, diagonal composition can be divided into vertical diagonal vertical line and flat diagonal horizontal line two.

Often show movement, flow, tilt, turbulence, imbalance, tension, danger, a torrent of scenes. There are also images that utilize diagonal lines to point out specific objects and serve as a fixed guide.

Eight, centripetal composition The main body is in the center, and the surrounding scene is concentrated in the center of the composition form, can be strongly attracted to the center of the main body of vision, and play a role in gathering.

With the main body of the distinctive features, but sometimes can produce the center of the oppression, heavy feeling of constraints.

9, triangle composition The positive triangle has a sense of stability, the reverse triangle has a restless dynamic effect.

The three visual centers for the main location of the scene, and sometimes the geometric formation of three points into a side of the arrangement of the location of the scene, forming a stable triangle.

This triangle can be a square triangle, can also be oblique triangle or inverted triangle. The oblique triangle is more commonly used and more flexible. Triangle composition is characterized by stability, balance and flexibility.

Photography of several compositional methods3

Photography of the following:

1, flat picture: refers to the photographed person and the lens of the shot is on the same level. Natural and intimate, objective, close to life, a strong sense of communication.

2. Elevation picture: refers to the subject is higher than the shooting level of the lens. It shows a tall, grand, prominent, exaggerated, superior and praiseworthy image.

3. Top down picture: the subject is below the shooting level of the lens. A glimpse of the mountains. Demonstrate the environment, location, size, number and so on.

4, the top of the picture: refers to the photographed person in the lens of the shooting below the vertical. Demonstrate the environment, location, shape, size, quantity, etc. of the photographed.

Photography of the light source and its irradiation orientation

Shunlight, refers to the direction of shooting and the light source irradiation angle is the same, the front of the photographed person is uniformly lighted, the exposure is basically accurate, and will not be overexposed or underexposed. However, the use of smooth light shooting can make the scene clear, but because there is no shadow, there is no light and dark levels, so the lack of three-dimensional sense.

Side-lighting, refers to the direction of shooting and the light source irradiation angle is different, the formation of a certain angle, the photographed person is not uniform, the front of the light is more or less, the side of the light is also more or less. It should be said that the side light is easier to shape the image than the smooth light, backlight, because the contrast between dark and light is stronger, and can better express the three-dimensional and spatial sense of people or scenery.

Backlighting, also known as backlighting, refers to the direction of shooting and the angle of illumination of the light source relative to the formation of a large angle, the front of the photographed person is not light, the back of the almost full light, the side of the light is more or less, so it is often underexposed, and must be adjusted significantly to the aperture or speed in order to achieve the requirements of accurate exposure. However, backlighting can show the outline of the person or scene better.

Top light, is the direction of shooting and the angle of illumination of the light source for the perpendicular angle, like the midday sunlight from the high altitude of the vertical irradiation on the top of the human head. The four sides of the photographed person from top to bottom will be lighted evenly or not depends on the shape of the photographed person. If the top is big and the bottom is small, then the top will receive a large area of light; if the top is small and the bottom is big, then the top and bottom will receive light, such as mountains, churches and so on. Top light shooting is still better for showing the scene from top to bottom of the brightness and darkness of the hierarchy, but not very good for showing the texture of the scene.
