When considering the composition of a photo, in addition to the various elements in the picture, there is another problem worth paying attention to, that is, the proportion of the photo, that is, the aspect ratio.

Different photo themes have their own photo proportion, such as panoramic scenery is more suitable for horizontal proportion, at the same time, affected by each platform and different size screen, different aspect ratio also has its own advantages.

Today, let's share with you the more common proportion of concentrated photos and the meaning behind them:

1. 1:11:1 is the proportion of a square, which is equal in length and width, just like the proportion of the avatar we use.

This proportion is very suitable for central composition, because the length and width are equal, so it is easy to focus on the central area, and this ratio is also suitable for showing a sense of symmetry.

Another big advantage of this ratio is that it fits the picture preview state on many platforms, that is, you don't need to click on the picture to see the whole picture, and you don't have to worry about the highlights of the photo being obscured.

The multi-image preview state with a ratio of 2. 3:43:4 is once the popular photo ratio because it is close to the screen ratio of early smartphones and has always been the default photo display ratio of foreign photo-sharing website Instagram, some photographers such as Japanese photographer RKRKRK will crop their photos to 3:4 to better display on Ins.

RKRKRK this proportion is similar to 1:1, suitable for the middle composition and symmetrical composition, but also more suitable for the upper, middle and lower tripartite composition, the photo looks clear and clear.

RKRKRK, however, as the current mobile screen gets longer, the 3:4 ratio will have a larger gap when displayed on the phone, which may affect the look and feel to some extent.

3. 4:3-3:2 this is a relatively common horizontal ratio, but also the mainstream picture ratio of the camera.

Many people are more accustomed to horizontal proportions than vertical composition, especially the seemingly neat horizontal proportions of 4:3 and 3:2.

This horizontal ratio is suitable for most themes, and it is also suitable for later cutting and editing, and the composition is more flexible.

But now, after all, the mobile phone is the mainstream, when viewing photos on the mobile phone, horizontal naturally does not have the advantage, which can also be seen on the short video platform.

4. 16:9 has a larger display space horizontally compared with 4:3 and 3RV 2J 16RV 9, which is a bit close to the film proportion.

Some cameras can choose to set this ratio when shooting. The advantage of this ratio is that it is horizontally wide and suitable for displaying themes such as panoramas such as landscapes. At the same time, the ratio can be well displayed on the PC side.

Although Xiao Wulamo is influenced by mobile phone, vertical screen has more advantages, but some specific themes inevitably use horizontal composition, such as scenery, group photos, and so on, and the proportion of 16:9 is still recognized by many people.

5. 2.39 this is a relatively rare proportion, perhaps some people will be more familiar with this ratio, because this is the current film picture is more popular proportion.

In this proportion, there is a very wide display space horizontally, and there is a sense of narrative, but the requirements for shooting are also higher, and the composition, angle, light and shadow need to be handled very accurately. This is why many people say that people who can make films will not be bad, while people who can shoot films may not be able to make good films.

Photos do show a certain "cinematic feeling" at this ratio, but single-picture display is very limited by the screen, so many photographers who like this ratio will put multiple photos with similar colors and composition together, both in line with the proportion of the mobile phone screen. there is also the feeling of a movie frame, friends who like cinematic photos can pay attention to this technique and the proportion of this photo.

The photo proportion itself is constantly developing, and there is no difference between high and low. As far as photography is concerned, the photo proportion that matches the photo theme and can express our thoughts is a good proportion.
