1. Composition

(1) Golden section method: Put the subject in the middle of the picture, leaving blank space up and down. This looks more comfortable. However, this composition method is only suitable for taking full-body photos and close-ups, not for large scenes. If you need to shoot a big scene, you can use the three-point method to compose the composition, that is, put the subject at one-third or one-half of the picture (This can be done according to your own habits), and then leave a blank part on the left and right. (Note: Do not use symmetrical composition techniques)

(2) Diagonal composition: it is to let the subject occupy three-quarters or one-sixth of the area of the picture (determined according to personal preferences). The advantage of this is that it will make the whole picture look fuller, tense, and visually impactful.

(3) Triangular composition: The triangle has strong structural stability, a full sense of balance, and a stronger visual impact; it can also increase the interest in the picture. (Note: Do not use symmetrical composition techniques)

(4) Horizontal and vertical cross-line composition

(5) Diagonal bevel bisector

2. Light

(1) Shunguang

Shunguang refers to the light from the sun shining on the top of the head. This kind of light illuminates evenly and is soft and comfortable; however, the disadvantage is also obvious-there is no three-dimensional effect; in addition, the light is too uniform, resulting in insufficient facial details of the characters. Therefore, it is generally recommended to take pictures from the angle of side light or backlight. (Note: Do not use direct light. ）

(2) Backlight

Backlight is another way of illuminating light relative to forward and side light; it can highlight the contour lines and texture of the subject well; (Attention! Never use a shooting technique facing the sun! ) At the same time, it can also create a good sense of atmosphere and mystery! (Attention! Never use a shooting technique facing the sun! ) Of course, for novices, choose side light for shooting~

3. Color

(1) Cold color

The color matching of cool tones can give people a sense of calmness, (for example, photos with blue tones can easily give people a quiet feeling~) But it should be noted that there can't be too many colors in cool tones! Otherwise, it will give people a depressing and dull feeling~ especially for white photos, you should pay more attention to this point~ because the white color is very light and easy to reflect light and looks very dazzling~

(2) Warm color

The warm color system, as the name suggests, is a combination of reddish and orange colors. Photos of this kind of color will look very warm and cute~
