Today, we continue to learn the last 5 super classic composition methods.
11 triangular compositions
In photographic composition, triangles can be divided into three forms, namely regular triangles, oblique triangles, and inverted triangles.
In general, when framing a photograph, there are two ways in which a triangle can be constructed;
One is that there is only one subject in the picture, and the three points of this subject can form a stable triangle, so we can use the triangular elements of the subject itself to compose the picture;
When photographing buildings in the city, using the upward angle to shoot can make the buildings appear triangular, which can increase the visual impact of the picture
There is also a situation where there are multiple subjects in the frame, and these subjects are constructed in the form of triangles in the frame by using different shooting angles or different shooting positions to achieve the effect of triangular composition.
In everyday life, it is also common to have scenes with triangular elements. However, when photographically composing, it is not required that the triangle formed by the subject must be a standard triangular shape, it can be an irregular triangle, an upside-down triangle, or an oblique triangle.
Diagonal triangles are the most common triangular element seen in photographic shoots. Upright triangles are more common than inverted triangles. The picture effect of the inverted triangle is diametrically opposed to the other two.
1. Regular triangle composition
The regular triangle can be said to be one of the most stable shapes in geometry, and when we use the regular triangle composition method to compose the picture, it can give people a sense of stability and balance.
In everyday life, the most reminiscent of regular triangles are buildings such as the pyramids of Egypt or the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and these triangular buildings often give people a sense of stability, solemnity, and firmness.
The shape of the Temple of Heaven is close to a regular triangle, and using the regular triangle composition to photograph the Temple of Heaven can give people a sense of solemnity and stability
The virtual triangle formed by the mountain peaks can bring a resolute and stable visual experience to the picture
2. Diagonal triangle composition
In nature, oblique triangles are more common than regular triangles and inverted triangles, and using oblique triangles to compose shots can make the picture stable, balanced and flexible. Diagonal triangles often appear in triangles with multiple subjects.
When photographing the beauties on the shore, the sitting posture of the beauties forms a virtual oblique triangle element, and the framing and shooting in the form of oblique triangle composition can make the characters express themselves naturally and vividly, and at the same time add a sense of stability to the photo
3. Inverted triangle composition
The inverted triangle composition is a special form of triangle composition, and its shooting effect is diametrically opposed to the stable and balanced effect brought by the regular triangle composition.
The inverted triangle is like a spinning top shape with a large top and a small bottom, and the use of an inverted triangle composition will break the balance of the picture, often giving people a very unstable visual experience, and at the same time will make the picture dynamic and dynamic.
When shooting grasslands, using trees with inverted triangle elements as the main body of the picture can break the balance of the picture and increase the attractiveness of the picture
12 Symmetrical composition
The so-called symmetrical composition is a form of composition shooting that uses the symmetrical relationship of the subject. This kind of composition belongs to a more rigorous type of composition, which pursues the symmetry, harmony and unity of the scenery in the picture.
In geometry, symmetrical figures themselves give a sense of balance and stability, and when this symmetry is applied to a photographic composition, it will also make the photograph feel harmonious, balanced, stable and formal.
The use of symmetrical composition to capture the details of the picture gives the picture a sense of balance and stability
In people's daily life, things with symmetry are universal, some things themselves have a symmetrical structure, and some things can also produce symmetrical effects through reflection on the surface of water, glass, etc.
These symmetry effects are generally divided into the form of top-down symmetry and left-right symmetry.
The symmetrical form is more suitable for photographing some ancient buildings, cultural landscapes, and urban construction.
The traditional design of general buildings pays attention to symmetry, and the use of symmetrical composition can make the structure of these buildings more regular in the picture, so that the picture gives people a solemn, stable and harmonious visual effect.
There are many symmetries in classical architecture, and presenting this symmetry in the picture will bring a harmonious and stable effect to the picture
Symmetry between the top and bottom mostly appears in symmetrical pictures formed by reflections on the water surface, such as the symmetrical relationship between the scenery on the shore and the reflection on the lake, or the symmetrical relationship formed by the reflection of puddles on the street of urban buildings.
Shooting through a symmetrical composition of the top and bottom often brings a comfortable and tranquil effect to the picture.
The reflection in the water forms a symmetrical relationship between the building and the water, and the symmetrical composition can be used to make the picture appear quiet and beautiful
13 Inverted Composition
Inverted composition is a special composition method, inverted composition is to compose the subject according to the inverted form, that is, "head down, feet up" way of shooting.
When we take a photo, we sometimes encounter situations where the captured scene always feels too flat.
At this time, you can try to use the inverted composition of the subject to shoot, because people usually observe things upright, so this inverted subject will increase the difficulty of people's identification, creating a new and unique visual effect.
This unconventional form of compositional photography is often used in portrait photography or landscape photography.
When taking photos of couples, you can use the inverted composition to shoot them, and the unique perspective adds to the fun of the picture
When taking pictures of cats, if the cat is lying down, you can also use the inverted composition to shoot, which will make the picture have a unique visual effect and give people a refreshing feeling
14 open compositions
We all know that traditional composition pays attention to the balance and integrity of the photo, while open composition is a composition method that subverts the traditional concept of composition, which pursues to break the balance and integrity in the picture.
Open composition refers to the construction of the subject or the part related to the subject in the picture, while the rest of the part is cut outside the picture, so that the main part in the picture has a spatial connection with the main part outside the picture.
The purpose of this composition is to break the integrity and coordination of the picture, so that the viewer's visual perception can be associated with the world outside the picture from the limited inside of the picture, so as to guide the viewer to break through the space limitations in the picture and produce a larger imagination space.
When shooting beautiful models, you can also use the open composition to shoot, only a part of the model's back, flowing long skirts and delicate sand, giving people a lot of room for association
In an open composition, the reminiscent of the exterior will also increase the information you want to convey in the picture, making the content of the picture richer and fuller.
As a modern photographic composition technique, the open composition has a strong modern artistic effect, and this composition method is also suitable for taking photos of many different subjects, such as flowers, people, architecture, photojournalism or humanistic documentary.
Using an open composition to shoot food can make people have more spatial associations, which indirectly increases the attractiveness of food photos
If we want to take surprising photos, we need to be bold and flexible to try to use open compositions and take more photos of different subjects to gain experience.
15 Closed Composition
Closed composition pays attention to the independence and integrity of the subject in the picture, and pursues the unity and harmony within the picture, which is a very rigorous and traditional composition method.
Pictures shot in this way of composition usually give people a sense of tranquility, beauty, harmony and solemnity.
As the most traditional way of composition, closed composition is to present the subject information in the picture as an independent whole, so as not to let it have an associative relationship with the outside world, and to focus the viewer's attention on the main body of the picture.
When shooting portraits of beautiful women on the lawn, you can use closed compositions to make them the most attractive subjects in the picture
In practical application, the selected framing image can be regarded as a small enclosed space, and the photographer controls the subject he wants to express within this space to ensure the integrity and independence of the subject.
It should be noted that the subject is usually arranged in the center or the golden section point in the picture, and the purpose of this is also to produce a uniform and balanced visual effect in the picture.
When photographing a dog playing on the lawn, you can adopt a closed composition, so that the dog does not have a connection with the outside space, so that the dog can be highlighted
Closed composition is suitable for taking photos of many different subjects, such as lyrical landscape themes that express the beauty of the picture such as harmony and rigor, or portrait photography that expresses emotional colors, and some scenes of life documentary.
