Photographic composition allows you to highlight the main body

"A good photo to have a can attract the attention of subject", this is New York institute of photography about good photo of the second of three basic principles. If you want to canvas prints pictures can attract people, let people's eyes have a foothold in the photograph, let people can stay in the picture. Will highlight the main body of this request, it can attract the attention of viewers. Beginners always like all the things they are interested in to a scene, it's like as let a person feel very bad traffic jams. No matter we are willing to give up, some always give up something, like this can highlight what we want most, and can make the theme clearer, more concise.

Image center is one of the most prominent positions, but it is not necessarily the most appropriate location. Let the body appear in which part of the picture, this is the "layout" this recruit to solve the problem. In the traditional law of composition have three points method and the golden section method, the layout of the law in some ways you can make the image more "beautiful" or looks more "comfortable", but that doesn't mean we can't put the body in the middle of the picture or the edge. Sum up, for the main layout only two cases: center layout or off center layout. Subject center layout photos can be rigid and stable, calm, absurd, and even sneaky, etc, are frequently used in the camera shoot single people or animals; Deviating from the center of the layout will be more flexible than center layout picture, change also more.

Subject deviates from the image center, also can produce a problem we need to consider: on what side of the main body to set aside more space? Left or right, or the lower left or upper right... Let's take a look at what's the difference between these photos? When the subject without direction, whether on or under, it looks will be "comfortable" on the right side of the picture, because we used to read from left to right, the right side is the turning point of view. Main body on the right, the line of sight met body will turn back to the picture, if the topic on the left side of the line of sight will slip out of the picture to the right. Based on the same reading habit from left to right, "the main body in the picture on the left to the right" than "subject" in the picture on the right side to left will look more "comfortable". , of course, this rule can be broken just like any other law, we can do exactly the opposite, used to convey the opposite of visual effect.

It is very simple, very practical, and the effect is very significant. This is because use this recruit express most directly. Someone because it is too direct, too simple, no change and that power is not big enough, so don't want to use, they would rather go to seek some complicated and fancy way to do STH unconventional or unorthodox. If, however, pay attention to the pictures in the world, we can found that the most excellent photos with contains this recruit, let the body bigger "before" depend.

So-called "top make the subject more", refers to let the subject as far as possible more than other objects close to the lens, this subject in the frame of the area will be larger. There are two ways to make the subject as far as possible more than other objects close to the lens. Famous ・ war photographer Robert capa once said: If you aren't good enough, because you are near the fighting is not enough. That's just what we say the first method: close to your subject.

When we are close to the subject, pay attention to canvas prints images of perspective distortion. If you don't want to subject perspective deformation (such as the big nose small ears), then to and body keep a certain distance. This distance is at least ten times the depth of scenery along lens optical axis. Such as positive head shoulders portraits, the distance between the nose and ears is about 15 cm, to make the proportion of our nose and ears look normal, is to stand in a 1.5 meters. , during the filming of a positive posture as the horizontal distance between the knees and ear about 40 cm long, to the proportion look normal, shooting distance must keep in 4 metres away. But when we want to emphasize a relationship through this deformation or something, you can use shot from close range. Exaggerated expression of the boxer punches in power, for example, shot from close range can let the gigantic fist.

Every method has its limitations, even we said above this simple and practical method is no exception. Near may mean attack and invasion. If we shoot animals, when the distance is less than the acceptable safe distance, it is likely to attack us or fled, resulted in failure. People, especially when a stranger situation may be more complicated.

When unable to close to the subject, we can use a telephoto lens to closer to the main body, in order to make the area of the larger in the picture. The second method is usually not perspective deformation problems, but because of far away from the main body, between the camera and the subject may appears some walking, running and so on be interference factors.

The place where we connect the heavens and the earth is called the "horizon", the river is regarded as the "curve", the straight street as a "linear", called eyes in the direction of the "eye"... Coarse can be lines, can also be a line, visible can is lines, invisible lines. Lines are everywhere in our eyes, but it does not exist in nature, it is an unacceptable fact. That line does not exist in nature; our brain is how to identify it? Ignore the size of the object, we regard it as the "point"; Similar to the "point", ignore the thickness of the object, we will regard it as a "line". Line can express the length and direction.

Line in the image can be directly by the object of performance, is the main body. If the line is the main body, how to highlight it may not be our SanBanFu can solve this time. This time we discuss is the use of line of direction to guide to the subject. When the subject is not big enough, but just when there is a line, this is one of the commonly used methods. "When we are doing with lines to guide line of sight" of practice, often will encounter such a problem: we focus on line is more than the subject, the line is more striking than the body. Practitioners, in other words, just hope people through the line to see the "subject", "main body" is what is not important. So this is for the sake of approach and method, in addition to the line of a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role, it is hard to notice other things.

The correct way should be just the opposite: we focus on the "subject", when the presence of guide line, we need to consider with or without according to the topic. So, in the use of guide lines and it is not the main body, our advice is don't let the guide line is too strong. The chair not only to guide line of sight and for the performance figures for rest provides important role in performance and fatigue. From the above two cases, we can see if the guide lines and the main body, there is a certain relationship between the contact has important effects on the performance of the subject matter, then the existence of the guide line will be more meaningful.

Using images of "line" or "line" and "between canvas prints picture frame into the space between" framed ", used to achieve the purpose of highlighting it. We call this approach "using framework (subject". When the body is not very big use the framework to highlight the main body is also one of the commonly used method, of course, this method is not only limited to the main body is small, can also be used in the main body is larger. It's more like a "picture in picture", the difference is that the framework around the area may be rules, also may be irregular. If the framework is not only the main body, framed by the framework still needs priorities.

As well as using guide line, if the framework is too strong, it would be a distraction, and lost the prominent main body role. This kind of situation will also often appear in the practice of "framework", practitioners tend to in order to frame and frame in the first place, as if telling the viewer: "hey! Look! Framework, here I use frames for an object."

Though sometimes make photos is bad, but it also do not break is a very good learning method. But beware: in the process of a large number of shooting must thinking and summary, suitable for applications where gradually mastered the skills, let skills can stable. In other words, when we are using the framework to highlight the main body, should know when it will be very good, what time will be very bad? The same is true with other methods.

So, in the practice of the shooting method is the natural thing, as long as we will enough attention on the main body, can always find a suitable way to highlight it. After all we are going to through the performance is the main body, not the method. Can highlight the main body, and does not because interference method is a good way. If you want to master these methods, or that sentence, picked up the camera
