In photography, composition is a basic and important element.

Composition theory is complex and complex, a variety of composition forms and a variety of light, shadow, color and other combination can produce countless forms; simple and simple, because its purpose is to serve the photo as a whole, so that the content behind the photo can be better presented.

There is another misunderstanding about composition, many people will be trapped in this, that is, a variety of composition as an "independent formula."

Here let's analyze it with a case study.

Let's take a look at this picture first. Our first impression of its composition is probably "diagonal composition."

If we can take a further look at the position of the subject in the picture, we can see that the photo also uses a "three-component composition".

Most of the time, these specific compositions do not exist independently, and we can combine them naturally in actual shooting, rather than thinking about which one should be used during shooting, or from another point of view, we are composing the picture in order to show the content of the photo, not to put a "formula" on it.

Or the above photo, because it is a black-and-white photo, we can obviously see the light-dark relationship of the photo, and the main body of the character is in a shaded state in the light path, which is more prominent. From this point of view, we can also say that the photo uses the "light-shade contrast composition", which is to combine the light-shade relationship with the composition.

Let's take a look at the edge of the light path and the elongated shadow inside. Have you thought of the "guide line"? Because they are slender and in the same direction, it is easy for us to follow these "lines" to trace our eyes to the main body of the character, so from this point of view, it can also be said that the photo uses "guide line composition".

In fact, our analysis in this way is more or less a bit of "over-interpretation". It may be a matter of a moment when shooting, and we don't have time to think so much, but it is from these inadvertent shoots that we can see two points:

1. Various compositions are not independent or mutually exclusive, and their advantages can be superimposed to serve photos and highlight some content.

The combination of these compositions in the actual shooting is more like a kind of "intuition", can also be said to be a kind of "photography eye". If we want to have this intuition, on the one hand, we can look at the photos and analyze them at the same time.

On the other hand, you can try different composition methods in peacetime shooting, do not rely too much on one composition and exclude other composition.

two。 Composition can be combined with the relationship between light and shade, leads, color, virtual and real and other elements, composition can be very flexible, but also with a clear purpose, all in order to highlight the connotation of photos and enhance expression.

In addition to the well-known composition that emphasizes the position relationship, such as triangular composition, tripartite composition, central composition, etc., "guide line composition", "contrast composition" and "light and dark composition" are also often used. If we combine "position" with these elements, our thinking will be clear.

Composition is not a formula, don't get used to it, but understand it from the point of view of the photo as a whole.
