Since more than a decade ago, with the popularity of smartphones and the rise of various social platforms, a simple composition has gradually become popular, which is called centered composition.

The reason why it is simple is that when we shoot, we hardly need to consider the position of the subject in the picture, as long as we put it in the center. Although it does not look so intriguing, it is very suitable for the "fast rhythm" of the network.

Many people will think that this composition is too rigid to take good pictures with it, in fact, it is not necessarily, because the central composition also has its own advantages:

1. Concise and generous picture, straight to the point is the greatest advantage of the central composition, at a glance, you can know where the focus of the photo, what the author wants to express, the direct performance of the characteristics of the subject.

For example, product display photos are more suitable for central composition, allowing people to get key information directly.

Portrait photos are fine, and if you want to highlight people, central composition is also a good choice. We have recommended photos of Taiwanese photographer Samalive several times. One of the features of his portrait works is that almost all of his portraits are centered composition, and this has become his style.

two。 Suitable for the performance of symmetry in the central composition, the main body is in the center of the picture, the top and bottom, left and right of the photo are evenly divided, so it is very suitable to express the sense of symmetry.

Under the symmetry addition, the photos will also be more aesthetic, concise and geometrically beautiful.

3. In line with the era of mobile phone picture reading, most people view and share photos through the mobile phone. The vertical screen determines that vertical slender photos have more advantages than horizontal photos, while vertical photos are very suitable for central composition. And vertical central composition will make the photo more prominent.

You don't even need to click to see the full picture, which is more conducive to the display of photos and makes them look more beautiful on the mobile screen.

Therefore, the rise of central composition not only has its own reasons, but also combines the development of technology and social trends.

In daily shooting, if we often feel confused and don't know how to compose, we can try to use central composition, especially for beginners, which is very suitable for practice.

And central composition can be combined with many elements to create more attractive photos:

Combine the foreground to make the photo more three-dimensional.

Combine the framework to further highlight the main body

Using specular reflection to enhance the aesthetic sense of symmetry

Make use of color contrast to make photos have stronger visual impact.

In fact, when we look at the photos above, we do not clearly realize that they are all centered composition, and there is no obvious feeling of "boring", "rigid" and "unbearable to see", because they all combine the characteristics of the central composition well and highlight its advantages.

Central composition is not so much a novice composition or "fool" composition as a basic composition and universal composition, which basically does not cause major problems to photos, but also has a strong inclusiveness and can be combined with many elements.
