How to use composition to grasp the heart of the viewer?

Under normal circumstances, good compositions can make photos more interesting and make the connection between works and viewers easier. Isn't this a photo that can instantly enter the viewer's heart, isn't this the goal of every photographer who wants to work hard?

The so -called composition is actually not good at only formulas, and it is not the conceptual thing like a three -point rule or a golden ratio. More often, it is a rule set by the photographer for the photo. It is a combination method between the elements in the photo. Through this rule, it can help the viewer to read the photos better. It is because of this The existence of the rules can also allow the viewer to quickly grasp the viewer's heart when he sees the photo for the first time, so that he can't help but want to continue watching.

So how do we find the combination of these elements in the usual shooting process? How to set a viewing rule for the screen itself?

First, it is the choice of shooting scene. Don't wait for a place to take out the camera to take pictures, learn to observe, and spend a little time to explore the area you want to record.

The best way is to find a point you are interested in, and then diverge through this point, and arrange the auxiliary elements through changes in the perspective relationship. Sometimes, there may not be a clear theme. You just want to attract the audience to a specific space. You can also use the perspective relationship to make the layer. Come to guide your eyes to the main space you want to express.

Of course, the simplicity of the picture should be considered. When taking pictures outside, there will be a lot of interference. Move the footsteps and remove the interference elements that may exist in your sight.

After the scene is selected, the next step is how to use visible elements. The best elements that can guide the screen are those lines and shapes that can be seen everywhere. We can make the visual weight through those shapes to make the visual, and guide the viewer's vision to the main body unconsciously through the bias of the element. The lines that exist everywhere in the environment can be an extension of the highway, the boundary of the building, the vertical trees, and so on. Let's guide the viewer.

Just like watching a reasoning novel, a good guidance rule allows viewers to focus on the screen for a long time and promote it layer by layer, and eventually fall into the main trap you designed.

The two -dimensional picture is obviously different from the three -dimensional space. What the photographer needs to do is how to express the three -dimensional elements in the two -dimensional space, and make it look more three -dimensional. The easiest way is to add texture, and the addition of texture will make the two -dimensional element three -dimensional. Another way is to create a layer through light.

Of course, even if the element looks good, after reading it, they forget it, because they have no core that can make viewers remember. This core can be a story. The story expresses emotions. Emotions can resonate and resonate Every viewer can keep in mind because of a moment of touch. The expression of the story can have many forms, which can be a person's expression or movement, and it can be a strong contrast between two scenes.

Still back to the problem that was originally said, to remove the interference elements in the picture intentionally during the photo process. Excessive interference elements will affect the viewer, so that the viewer is distracted, and you cannot keep it in mind the moment he sees this at the moment. Picture.

Simple pictures are often the least simple.
