Three techniques of photographic composition

The most important thing of photography picture composition design is that the balanced beauty of composition. In daily life, each person may have the following experience: a chair tilted to give people the feeling that the unstable. Similarly, the picture of the photographic works balance is very important in the composition.

1. The use of symmetry and balance in the picture

The degree of symmetry, symbolize a kind of highly neatly. The butterfly, for example, the symmetry of its body and wings decorative pattern has been appreciated. Symmetrical images are often visible in photography. But most photography, in composition is not pursuing a half and half is symmetrical, but rather a balance of visual deliberately in the picture.

Because in the composition of photography, the absolute symmetry can give a person a kind of static, formality and drab feeling, life still in pursuit of equilibrium for people's aesthetic requirements. Excessive use of symmetry can make people feel dull, lack of energy. And equilibrium is to break the situation of a dull, it is a combination of "both" side, and flexible. Balanced include composition of image contrast, people, people and things, big and small, dynamic and static light and dark, high and low, virtual and real contrast. Balancing structure refers to the picture of each part in the scene to have echo, contrast, balance and stability. Frame structure equilibrium, in addition to the size, weight, include line, space, light and shade tone...balanced role.

2. Primary and secondary relationships in composition

Shooting life photos, mainly to the main characters, so when designing picture should pay attention to the subject and accompany body, the relationship between the main characters, and minor characters, the relationship between characters and the background. A photograph if only body without foil, images will appear dull and no change, but accompany body cannot a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role; Main body must be prominent in the picture, to abandon numerous is brief, change the position and Angle, when necessary or unnecessary things move, in order to achieve concise picture highlight the main body. Some people pictures were drowned by the clutter background, main body character is pushed aside, this is something regret. In the picture on the primary and secondary relations of can take the following two points: If there are any clutter background can adopt enlarge aperture method, make the background behind the vague and to highlight the main body. Choose suitable Angle to avoid clutter background can make the character's image.

3. The use of "golden section" in composition

The so-called "golden mean", "golden ratio" is A: B = B: A + B, in the composition of art and photography application often mention 5:8 ratio, for practical, especially photography composition, it is accurate enough. In the specific composition of photography, it can be applied to plot the contrast, the actual contrast, contrast, size, etc.

The role of the golden section:

Handle picture stability: stable in art generally refers to the scene of the horizontal and vertical line is correct. Deal with the blank picture: blank space on the surface of the finger painting, generally when the moving body photos were taken, must pay attention to the front of the direction to leave a blank, this helps to strengthen the dimensional feeling of movement. Adjust the position of the visual focus: that part of the picture can attract most people is the visual center. If you want to highlight the main image and will be arranged in the position of visual center.
