Horizontal composition is mainly used to coordinate the characters and background photos, it is characterized by the picture stretch, can show a sense of stability. In the image above left, the photographer placed the youthful faces of the subjects at the intersection of the Golden Section, in the best position. The foreground uses black pillars to contrast with the light colored clothing of the characters, highlighting the characters. In addition, the use of a large aperture to blur the background, through the virtual-real contrast, further highlight the subject. In the picture below, the background of the picture is too complicated, the background is not contrasted with the figure, the subject is not prominent, and the viewer cannot focus on the figure.
The characters are arranged in the middle third of the banner screen, and the composition helps to highlight the main body, but sometimes it can be monotonous. As shown in the picture on the right, in order to avoid the rigidity of the composition, the model adopts the posture of turning sideways to show the change of the body; The use of side light shooting, produce tone contrast, show the character's hair and clothing texture level; Use foreground and background blur processing to balance the picture. In addition, portrait photography often gives people a special impression through the expression of eyes and expressions, and enhances the sense of visual stability. The figure is arranged in the left third of the banner screen, leaving a wide space in front of the body. The photographer uses the technique of foreground blurring to blur the foreground barbed wire, and the right side of the picture is brightened and left blank. Compared with the previous one, this method of expression highlights the implicit effect of characters and pictures.
Using contrast to show the composition of the photographic picture of a person can test the artistic expression of the photographer. How to arrange the subject into the picture in an interesting way, and deal with their relationship well, so that the expression is more appealing, this needs to be seriously thought about. The figure below shows a girl and a muppet toy in contrast. The dark tone accounts for two-fifths of the picture, and the light tone accounts for three-fifths of the area. In the contrast of light and dark, the overall feeling is still balanced due to the direction of the character's center of gravity. The interest of composition is not only the contrast of light and dark, but also the contrast of movement and movement, the muppet's eyes are closed, the girl's eyes are open; Posture comparison, the muppet is the body, the girl is sideways; Dense contrast, the space around the puppet is redundant, the space around the girl is cramped. Through this series of contrast, the composition is more decorative and interesting. The horizontal picture makes the viewer's sight extend and look back to the left and right along the horizontal direction, making people feel that there is a special feeling between the muppets and the girls, which are very cute and impressive. In the figure above, the figure's posture is an S-shaped curve, and the squatting posture highlights the figure's inner sense of power. In order to reduce the sense of instability in the picture, vertical lines are arranged in the background, and the open arm forms an approximate horizontal curve. The intersection of various lines makes the characters become visual and the characters become more prominent. The whole composition is dynamic and unconventional. The large area of red block in the background makes the picture full of passion and explosive force. This example also shows the role of morphing in the picture. Due to the perspective effect of the wide-angle lens, the near hand is much larger than the far hand, and this asymmetry due to deformation is often more interesting than symmetrical balance. The more asymmetrical, the more the audience expects an asymmetrical reason. In theory, at least, the viewer would look more closely for a reason, making the image more intriguing.
When viewers appreciate a photograph, they often focus their attention on the most interesting places in the picture, which we call the "interest" of the picture. When shooting a photo, it is necessary to use all modeling techniques such as composition, color, tone, etc., to make the interest in the picture stand out. As in the picture above, it creates new ideas by depicting the body shape of the character. The girl in the picture is the interest of this photo, using a top-down Angle to shoot the picture of a girl in red lying on the grass, because the shooting Angle is not common, so the visual impact is effectively strengthened. The use of triangular composition enhances the stability and expressiveness of the picture. The girl's head is positioned so that it is in the most prominent position in the picture. Other parts of the picture, such as leaves and scarves, constitute a warm background and coordinate the whole picture.
