When it comes to street photography, composition is an unavoidable topic. Wonderful street photography often has a "just right" precise composition, and the details reflect the photographer's observation and thinking.

In all kinds of composition of street photography, "frame composition" is an unavoidable skill, and "frame" plays an ingenious role in many wonderful street photography works.

Today we combine a few street photos to learn how "framing" is "just right":

1. The authenticity and recording of frame composition are important elements of street photography, and if you want to grasp the main points and express personal thoughts in the complex and constantly changing real environment, you need to use composition to emphasize and highlight.

Frame composition can play a good role in highlighting. If a frame structure appears in an ordinary picture, we will be unconsciously attracted by this closed structure, and the elements in the frame can naturally be noticed at the first time.

Let's take a look at this picture:

Simple photos, but can bring people a strong mood and visual impact, the narrow frame happens to be in contrast to the strong movements of the characters, the frame forms a certain occlusion, but just can focus on the character's hand movements and teeth, highlighting the character's anger.

Framing is also very useful in minimalist street photography:

An appropriate framework not only does not destroy the "sense of simplicity", but also further emphasizes the sense of existence of the subject.

two。 The frame of segmented picture not only has the function of emphasis, but also can divide the picture so that there is contrast and echo in the picture.

Let's take a look at the classics of Magnum photographer Bruce Bruce Davidson:

At first glance, the picture is a bit chaotic, but it is very hierarchical. The body of the characters happens to form a frame structure, which distinguishes the characters under the picture from those around them, forming a contrast between silence and noise, concentration and confusion, and the existence of the frame reinforces this sense of contrast.

The award-winning works we have shared before also use frames to segment the picture to show a sense of contrast:

There is an obvious color contrast between the left side and the right side of the picture, and the window frame of the shop is an obvious dividing line. In addition, this is a very ingenious photo, in addition to color contrast, there are light and shade contrast, character posture contrast, character dress contrast, gender contrast, identity contrast, all of which can mobilize the mood and highlight the gist of the photo.

In addition to the comparison, let's take a look at the echo:

Echoes are generally generated in multiple frames of the same picture, and when we look at multiple frames, we unconsciously connect the elements in different frames, and the elements also echo.

3. All kinds of frame elements around our lives, there are a variety of frame structures, flexible so that you can add a lot of color to your photos:

Semi-enclosed frame + frame formed by the character's body

Closed reflectors such as mirrors can also be used as frames.

The crowd can also form a framework.

Scattered flowers can also form a frame. In fact, we can see from here that the frame does not have fixed elements. Objects with surrounded forms can be used as frames in the picture. We can even make frames by ourselves when shooting.

The emphasis, contrast and segmentation of frames in photography can sometimes make disorder orderly and insipid strong, and an interesting framed photo is not only completed by the author, but also part of the creation of the viewer's thinking. maybe this is the source of its "just right".
