elements of photographic composition
frame in the form of different composition
banner frame in the form of the main surface, vertical format, the general cross-frame shooting lying, sitting, man; vertical standing frame shooting other characters. But you may remember, this is not an inch of the law change, but in many cases like this.

main
for portrait photography, portrait photograph people is to express the main target, is an important part of the screen. It is not only the center of the screen content, but also the center of the screen structure, and other features to be around it to form a whole. Therefore, the best photographers in the picture to note is how prominent figures.
For starters, the prominent figures of the most simple way is to find a more simple and clean background. Such as the side of the white walls, a green grass and the like both clean and not complicated background, so photographers need to focus on people who do not worry about dealing with the relationship between character and background of the problems caused by failure photos.
In addition, the photographer in mind, look for the half-length portrait portrait photography, especially close-up, it is very important. So, try some of the characters on the screen significantly eyes lateral 1 / 3 of the line position, so that not only highlight the main screen, but also more appropriate composition and harmony.
exposure time 1/125s Aperture F4.8 Focal Length 58mm ISO 800
sense of strong background lines, more slender body model highlights
blur the background with the main highlight (put the focus on the figure)
If you want to further highlight the main characters, beginners can also consider using the method of virtual background to highlight the figure. This method of virtual background, the background clutter can also exclude the interference of the main characters. The use of telephoto lenses can not only be more realistic performance figures, but also can achieve the perfect blur effects. If the environment is not much use for the character value. More depth to its weak; If you need to account for certain environmental factors , but people do not want the effects to the body, then the virtual technology can be appropriate (after the method of virtual background revisit), to both unity can be.

the use of prominent figures
momentum
changes in the use of perspective
prominent figures
prominent figures comparing the use of tone
prominent figures using size
characters, scenes with a reasonable
mismatches if the characters and background, there will be people head the trees, pillars and other objects or branches, which do not grow the right shoulder of the composition form. This requires attention to the photographer, when the main characters behind the tall trees or towers and other background, we should consider a slight shift of the main characters next point, to avoid the trees as the background and characters overlap. Of course, you can also soften the background a little, so that people become more prominent .
exposure time 1/100s Aperture F13 Focal Length 85mm
people shooting in the environment, to avoid overlapping of characters and background of trees, etc.
choice between a good grasp of character limb position
beginners very easy to make a mistake when taking a half-length portrait, figure mishandled choice limb position, they would often arm, cut down the middle of the screen. For starters, with particular attention to that when viewing from the viewfinder , do not cut from the figures joints. In other words, do not let King bottom of the box from the elbow, waist or knee cut scene on both sides of the box is not cut from the wrist or elbow. If you must cut from the arm or leg, it should try to skip the joints.
exposure time of 1/160s Aperture F4 focal length 135mm
big bust portrait shot, you can more or less part of the knee were cut
the relationship between the characters and scenery
scene selection and a reasonable mix of characters and scenes portrait photography is the key to tourism. Wherever he went places, there where the most typical and most representative of the scene. Even some small cities have a certain view has its characteristics. This requires that the photographer should be taken to properly arrange people in this unique landscape, so photos became I have seen some people take pictures in the nest of steel, was rather Mangrenmoxiang taste.
during the shoot, the photographer should pay attention to the characters and scenes with the problems of composition. Travel photos in shooting, two problems often occur: one is the character position improperly, that is to block out the scenery ; In other cases, caused by too many people show no significant features (figure too small, not looking also found). Therefore, people in the scene with the photo shoot when he was photographed by the station location is very important. Tourism is the main portrait photography of people, attractions, only as a background, but is typical and meaningful context, and to maintain its integrity.
the main characters to take in the whole picture, at least one-fifth or more, because we were shooting portrait shots, if people take over the column is too small, will lead to whole landscape photos became overwhelming and this novice shooting portraits of the lovers in particular should pay attention to. Under normal circumstances, portrait photography in tourism, attractions accounted for about two-thirds of the screen, while the figure accounts for about one-third of the screen.
character position is the most common figures on the composition of the middle of the photo, but now the placement of the most popular figures in the entire picture of the gold sub-grid points, which is on the screen left or right third of the one, this makes photos look more natural, which can be based on the actual situation.
course, due to wide-angle and standard lens to better uptake and performance of the relationship between landscape and people, so use more widely. Although the broad vast natural landscape, but its every detail does not necessarily need to enter the picture, so shooting should take some typical details of the election or in part, make the menu full of artistic charm. For the partial characterization and description, a telephoto lens is essential. In addition, the telephoto lens of the background blur effects , the same can give a different aesthetic.
It should be worth noting that people are generally inclined toward the center photo, tilt will bring out a toe in the awkward feeling. Of course, if you mean to show some style is a special case, you can follow your own preferences to shoot

selection, not only figures to be fully demonstrated, but also on account of the environment just right
no distance friendship
go out to play with friends, simply want to have more time together, during which always found a souvenir photo. At this point, even if there is nothing spectacular or beautiful scene, as long as the show through the lens intimate friends , had enough. For friends in daily life, in most cases need to be natural, casual way performance. For example, to encourage them to do some sweet moves, interesting faces, and so on, to avoid people being taken to do some modeling the action or expression.
, of course, the photographer can capture the characters be. The subject is not aware of the case was taken, its performance is the most natural. Photographer to eye grassland, while it is not prepared, in a whisper , or chasing the case, quickly capture some wonderful pictures.
the subject face the camera person unfettered, intimate whisper between friends to give their true feelings
create a sense of stability and reasonable composition
background and the characters face the woods formed a parallel structure. The results can not be prominent figures of the facial expressions. In addition, the extra screen space under the side of the proportion is too large. Horizontal red line marking the right tilt, the overall performance of the instability and dull sense of framing the plan is a typical example of failure.
failure framing
shaped the sense of stability. As the red line of the divided region, consistent with the distribution of the screen. Photograph of the vast blue sky as the main background, the yellow soles of the feet and the height of the lawn and the people close, which makes the whole mix of colors and highlights equal parts split screen effect.
better viewfinder
to avoid the phenomenon of perspective, to make a good building
perspective taken to avoid the phenomenon of the first building to be taken to maintain the level of the main building, in the use of wide-angle lens when shooting and Yang try to avoid overhead, otherwise the building will be in the frame around the central or tilt (toward the lens Yang shot on the building tilted to the inside, shot down the overhead, the building would tilt out. This is near the far smaller due to the perspective relationship.)
(stand too close from the Tiananmen Gate, but also want to shoot into the red, Yang had to take the camera up, the results in both sides of the building to tilt. while the level of the subject is not Tiananmen Square, the building was tilted powerful, and this is especially to be avoided.)
if the environment allows, the best choice for the location of distant, with the lens focal length to shoot (stand back, and then zoom closer to the subject, but rain and fog days, the screen may be gray Meng Meng) , so perspective of the phenomenon can be completely avoided.
If the light and the building 45 degrees to the front when the light and dark contrast and dimension, it is easy to shown the temperament of the building itself.
appropriate to add some visual elements, which make big scene is no longer monotonous
For large scenes, such as sea, lake, grassland, desert, the photographer will use a lot of wide-angle vision. But the film also pay attention to landscape, if only shooting the sea, sand dunes, the color becomes more dull point.
If the screen to accommodate a number of other features, color, footprints and figures, even if it is far, can also play with colors, it will do not have a taste. So what photography is very self, there are many to make their own experience.
composition assessment
Story .1
mix of scenes and portraits, the image can be combined with the results of the ever-changing, in composition, sometimes, it seems not permissive, but in fact, there are some principles to follow.
in Part # 1, we take a look at portraits are the most commonly committed by a small loss.
1. 【Model】 mistake: this man with the King's image, building lines of pillars in the figures significantly above the head, in which case, it is like 外拍, in the character's head shot of the trees, the trunk in general, seems to be rather strange.
In addition, the figures Figure 1 appears to remain sight too little space.
2. Improved】 【Composition: just a little adjustment of the angle of shooting, building pillars to avoid the lines, and the scope of the right camera view with the box, leaving the sight of more to solve the above problems.
Story .2
shooting portraits, try a different shooting angle is very important in the face of the same scene, we can Duo Sisuo to any angle, and the tension can reach the screen interesting.
in Part # 2, we look at portraits of the different camera angles.
1. 【Model】 error: picture instability - the walls of the lines, causing a sense of instability into the picture.
2. 【Model】 error: Improved image instability, but the composition of normal - this is the most commonly used parallel to the shooting, although the figure has improved the picture a sense of insecurity, but the composition appears to be too normal.
3. 【Composition】 improved: slightly adjust the angle of shooting, we try to shoot from the top models, like this film, is not better than the above two plans, but also a lot more lively!
Story.3
in narrative, documentary, or a story of portrait photography, we often view people with a way to show the scene where the characters, time and space, the environment. This time, the person is an element of the screen, how to box to get the right people with the King, showing a better imagery, becomes important when thinking of a composition.
in Part # 3, we take a look at the range of box King.
1. 【Model 】 wrong: emphasizing character, which is generally the most common framing the scope of the performance of the image of the scene was not enough, there is an element of narrative, but the time and space, poor environmental performance.
2. 【Model】 errors: framing a little more range, but the framing behind the scenes, obviously, did not result in any significant meaning for the image, but instead changes more clutter.
3. 【Composition】 improvement: re-framing adjustment range, this image will be the platform, the performance of railway extension being out!
in the last.
Basically, the unit change in box # 3 in the King Range, the thought is how to make a scene there Kuang Yuan, the level of feeling, and tell people where the scenes.
Further, if the image is to show the meaning behind, telling image of the subject, in the framing images, there will be a different focus.
Story.4
The following is a framing
very failures. The problem is that this picture is too high above the horizon, MM there is a feeling to fall into the water, the picture out of balance. -
-
-
Below is a very successful
viewfinder, so the horizon disappeared in the photo 1/3--1/2 Department, looks very coordinated, do not feel MM fell out from the photos, or stuck to the feeling (so photography the time horizon should not put photos 1/3--1/2 outside.) -
-
-
-Story.5
like this, the main character was a serious interference with the background noise. -
-
-
well and play a small role in this distance, highlighting the MM of the PP. However, the horizon at an angle, but also to remind the MM when they put POSE is tilted his head back, is not inclined to lean over to you. -
