Works with strong contrasts in life are easy to leave a deep impression on people. When framing with a camera, if you are good at discovering the characteristics of the scene in the real world, and try to use contrast to compose the shot, you can increase the readability of the photo.
Photographic composition with a contrast of size
The contrast between size and size, also known as the contrast between distance and proximity, is easy to show the primary and secondary relationship of the picture. Generally speaking, large objects are more prominent than small objects, so during the shooting, we can decide to bring the subject closer to the lens, and the image is large and the subject is prominent; The companion is far away from the lens, small in size, and unobtrusive, thus achieving a contrasting photographic composition of size.
When shooting, we can make full use of the interest of this difference in size, or form a contrast between the size through the lens perspective, so as to strive to break the uniformity and rigidity of the photographic composition, so that the subject object of the photograph becomes the center of the picture, so that the reader's attention can focus on the center of the subject of change, so as to produce a charming artistic effect.

Contrasting virtual and real photographic composition
The contrast between the virtual and the real is a common method of contrast, which highlights the "real" through the "virtual". The comparison between virtual and real is usually divided into the following situations:
The clear subject is "real", and the blurred scene is "virtual"; Shooting with a medium telephoto lens and a wide-aperture lens makes it easy to create a contrast between reality and reality.
The subject itself is "real", and the shadow is "virtual"; Shadows can be seen everywhere, and we can make good use of this feature to compose shots.
Dark-colored scenes are "solid", and light-colored scenes are "virtual". In landscape photography, rolling mountains are surrounded by smoke, and the darker mountains are "solid" and the lighter fog is "virtual", so that the contrast between virtual and real is formed.
The technique of dynamic and static contrast is used to make the objects fixed by the relative camera clearly presented, and the objects moving relative to the camera are blurred.

Contrasting height and height photographic composition
The contrast between height and height can be said to be a branch of the contrast between size and size. For example, in a bush, a large tree will stand out; If you are in the forest, the same big trees will appear less prominent. Trees of the same height have different visual perceptions due to the different surrounding environments.
If there is no comparison between the two pedestrians, the photo is just a tree and a plank road stretching into the distance, and there is nothing special about it, and after adding pedestrians, it not only reflects the height of the trees, but also conveys a kind of sky-high earth and the idea of human insignificance.
The contrast between height and height can also be staggered, usually when designing the placement of objects, in order to make the picture more vivid. Try to avoid keeping objects at the same height, which can also be seen in other fields of art. In everyday life, the contrast between height and height is very wide-ranging, and it is often used when photographing people, animals, still lifes, flowers, urban buildings, and natural landscapes. There is a contrast to the high, and the picture increases the visual impact through this contrast.
The contrast between the tall and towering snow-capped mountains in the background and the tiny houses in the foreground makes the picture look more vivid and makes the viewer marvel at the magical power of nature.

How much contrasting photographic composition
In order to better highlight the subject, we can increase the number of accompaniments without disturbing the subject, the more the better. As long as the main body is arranged in a more prominent position, even if the number of accompaniments is large, they will not dominate, and these accompaniments play a key role like green leaves against safflowers.

Straight contrasting photographic composition
In painting, we pay attention to the combination of movement and static, and the complementarity of yin and yang. It is also important in photographic composition, in which the straight lines are relative to each other is "static", and the curves are relative to "movement", and the movement and stillness can complement and complement each other. When there is no contrast in the subject, we can choose to use an accompaniment to achieve the goal.

In the contrast between the curves and straights of the overpass, the curves are more dynamic, and the straight lines are more stable, making the picture more vivid.
summary
The essence of photographic composition is to organize and manage the picture, and select elements with shooting and performance value for reasonable layout. Contrast is the first trick of photographic composition, and it is also the first step to practice the "photographic eye", so as to be good at discovering and using the elements in life to form contrasts for photographic composition.
