People with different personalities have different ways of observing the world.
Photography, to a great extent, can truly reflect a person's observation style. Some are delicate, some are serious, some pay attention to details, and some pay attention to the whole.
Because of different personalities, photographers' composition habits will be different. Even if they hold the same mobile phone, they take two very different photos. For example, the photo below:
Their shooting angles are not good or bad, but only represent different visual personalities. Today, we will use the knowledge point of composition to talk about the differences between the commonly used shooting composition methods of people with different personalities:
ˇ Rigor vs Freedom
The first thing most friends who are new to photography know is composition. Some people feel safer when taking pictures by following the composition rules, while others often break the rules. What about you?
The first personality: rigorous composition
People with the first personality have extreme "obsessive-compulsive disorder". When sending a circle of friends, they need to send 9 pictures, and taking pictures pays more attention to the balance of the pictures.
Strict and accurate composition is very suitable for them. For example,Horizontal and vertical, symmetrical mode, nine-square grid crossing positionEtc. are concrete presentations of strict rules.
Using "obsessive-compulsive disorder" composition photo structure is more stable and comfortable, and it can simply focus on the most concerned point of the picture, greatly improving the film yield. And basin friends who love to use rigorous composition are as calm and steady as the photos they take.
The second personality: free composition
Friends with the second personality are bolder and more adventurous. They want to create works with unique personal styles that others cannot copy. InThere are many ingenious designs and original perspectives in their work。
Especially in street shooting, everything is presented dynamically,We often can't simply apply the rules, and in such cases, any direct photography may be the best。
Their works always give people a refreshing feeling. When you observe them carefully, you will find that they have no secrets:They will discover the details of life,Find some special connections in the scene.
But often bold innovation will also be accompanied by failure, so friends with the second personality need more courage, confident expression and courage to break the rules.
ˇ Regular vs Random
When shooting content, some people like orderly arrangement, while others like random and disorderly changes. Which one do you like?
The third type of personality: regularity structure
Friends with the third personality are calm, calm and able toFind orderly existence in disorder, which may be repeated elements, or color matching, light and shadow, etc.。
Generally, the main body of their works is clear and prominent, the pictures are concise and unified, and the order can add beauty to the composition and form an intuitive visual experience. At the same time, let the picture have more room for imagination.
By drawing inferences from others, they will also create regular pictures, such as placing diagonal lines with cut and uncut oranges to make the picture look more concise and orderly.
Although the Coke bottles are placed in a mess, the main colors of the picture are unified into red and black, and the orderly color combination makes the picture visually attractive.
But orderly scenes are not the norm, and it is easy to get bored when shooting frequently. So you can see how friends with the fourth personality take pictures?
The fourth personality: randomness deconstruction
People with the fourth personality like to be changeable, their personality will be lively and optimistic, and they can't accept monotonous repetition.
In taking pictures, they are eager for the appearance of variables. They know betterHow to make photos interesting, which is often the visual focus of the picture.
The following snow pea, in logical order: the bean on the right should have "belonged" to the part on the left, but the photographer "arranged" it on the right. Breaking the inherent order, this single Dutch pea became the focus of interest in the picture.
As a photographer, sometimes what you need to do is to wait for the best opportunity to shoot the interesting focus.
The passing red backs break the white tranquility, and the birds spread their wings and fly high to embellish the static building shadows.Break the orderMake the photos look not too dull!
ˇ Concrete vs Abstract
Friends with different personalities have very different subjects. Some people are realistic and record truly and directly, while others are abstract, difficult to understand but highly artistic.
The fifth personality: direct and specific
People with the fifth personality are frank, direct, hearty and generous, and the content of their photos never beat around the bush.You can understand photos perfectly just with your eyes。
Their stories are all in the picture, and there won't be too many conjectures and contradictions, and they won't give ambiguous things to the viewer's own analysis. This is how the original pleasure and clear information transmission in photography are completed.
The sixth personality: full of tension
The last person has rich imagination. Maybe his works are a little abstract and you can't understand them, but you are full of curiosity about his works.
Like a runaway wild horse, their field of vision is outside the painting, so they will extend the space from the frame of the image to the outside. If you can't understand this, it's like you can't see the phrase: "Don't look at my finger, look where my finger is pointing."
Their imagination is rich, and they will also use various photo functions to create some abstract works.
For example, shooting with the mobile phone's own "streamer shutter" function makes full use of the native function of the mobile phone, and shoots flying fireworks by hand. The trajectory of each fireworks is independent, and it is very dynamic, with abstract shape and reminiscent.
Or shooting incomplete or partial pictures can add mystery to the picture, and it can also arouse viewers' thinking. Because incompleteness tends to produce associations with other parts, while completeness means the end of imagination.
sum up
People with different personalities will observe the world with their own understanding and interpret it in the picture. What kind of personality are you?
Don't rush to get your seat! This is not the meaning of this article. We want everyone to know each other more.
If you are a person who likes rigorous composition, you can try to break the rules of composition. If the pictures you usually take are often messy, try applying the rules to take pictures, and you will all gain something new.
No matter what kind of personality you are, open your horizons and don't be trapped in your own small photography world. The world is bigger and more wonderful than what you see or imagine. In photography, you need to open your horizons and try more differences.
