Composition and language Photographic

Knowing how to compose in photography is having more than halfway to becoming a good photographer. If you are interested, we are going to recapitulate the basic notions of photographic composition. Mastering composition is just as important as mastering lighting, or the parts and handling of your photographic equipment.

It can make the difference between an ordinary photo and a great professional looking photo. In the following pages we will analyze various rules, tricks and tips to take the best photographs in terms of Composition. We will know the laws of perception, who are the Gestalt psychologists and what relationship they have with photography.

We will study the law of figure and background, the law of proximity, the law of continuity, the law of closure, the law of similarity and the law of grouping, among others. All of them are rules of perception that help us understand why some photos are better than others and how the visual stimulus that the photographer captures in the image affects the viewer.

We will explain in depth the basic laws of photographic composition: the law of the horizon, the law of the gaze and, of course, the famous rule of thirds. Nor will we forget the golden section, the Fibonacci sequence and its relationship with photographic composition. We will continue talking in detail about the elements that make up the design in an image, what they are, and how we can use them in our favor when composing a good photograph.

Lines and points, shapes, textures and colors are all concepts that we will get to know in depth in this book and that will serve as a guide when taking out the camera and composing.

Finally, we will review the types of framing, explaining what values the different ways of framing add to the image. We will review the photographic angle and the planes of the image and perspective, all of which are aspects to take into account in a good photographic composition.
