After studying photography for a period of time, many people will reject or get tired of the "middle composition" and feel that this composition is too mediocre and rigid.

"Central composition" is indeed a relatively simple and easy-to-use composition, and you don't even need to practice it deliberately, but even with such a simple composition, you can take a very good picture if you use it well, and it won't look very rigid or mediocre.

Let's first take a look at the following photos:

If the topic we are discussing today is not "central composition", will you realize that these photos originally used this method of composition?

The above photos are well centered on the advantages of composition:

Concise and clear, to the point, focus, looks like a sense of balance, but also very suitable for the direct performance of the subject's texture, texture.

If you want to make good use of this method of composition, it is natural to give full play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Next, we will analyze in detail how to make good use of "centered composition":

1. Keep the picture concise after the above analysis, we can see that one of the advantages of the central composition is that the picture is concise and clear, and the focus is prominent, so when we shoot, we should grasp the key point of simplicity.

While placing the subject in the center of the picture, it is best to avoid interfering elements around the picture, so as not to "dominate the subject" or make the picture lose its sense of balance.

two。 Sense of symmetry we mentioned above that it is best to keep the picture simple, but not all scenes can be so arbitrary, inevitably disturbed by various elements, then we can try to find "symmetry" elements.

The photo is balanced from left to right and looks symmetrical because the subject is located in the center of the picture, the up and down, left and right, and diagonal of the picture are very suitable for expressing the form of symmetry, and symmetry itself represents a stable balance and sense of beauty. therefore, if you can build symmetry in the picture, the central composition will look more attractive.

3. Contrast in the middle of the composition itself can play a role in strengthening the subject, through the key position to make the subject more obvious, which is also one of its advantages, when we use this composition, we can further strengthen this advantage through the method of "contrast". Make the picture more primary and secondary, the focus is prominent.

(1) Light and shade contrast

(2) Color contrast

(3) texture comparison.

(4) comparison between deficiency and reality

4. When the subject size is used in the central composition, it is very important to arrange the proportion of the subject in the picture reasonably.

For example, we also shoot a tree, and when the big tree fills the picture, we may feel oppressed; but if it is a tree with a relatively small proportion, although we may not see the whole picture clearly, there is a "sense of breathing" in the picture.

Moderate and moderate composition with less white space

If left blank properly, the photo as a whole appears to be more concise, and there is also a "sense of breathing." from another point of view, arranging the size of the main body is to arrange the "negative space" of the picture, that is, to leave blank, and some photos are rigid and not exquisite with central composition. On the one hand, the proportion of the main body is too large, it does not look "flexible", there is no "activity space".

There is no difference between high and low composition, the important thing is that we should make reasonable arrangements according to the shooting theme, our own thoughts and understanding, so that the composition serves the whole photo.
