Campuses, with their natural landscapes, cultural buildings and academic atmosphere, serves as a unique carrier for photography creation, rich in visual materials. From a professional artistic perspective, campus scenery photography is not merely the simple shooting of scenes, but rather a comprehensive externalization of the creator's aesthetic tastes, observational perspectives and visual psychology. This article analyzes the formal principles of composition and the shaping function of light and shadow. By interpreting composition knowledge such as the composition with points, lines and planes, perspective relationships, and color arrangements, as well as the specific application of natural light and ambient light in creating the emotional tone of the picture, the article explores paths  for exploring the infinite visual tension within a limited campus scene, hoping to provide practical references for campus photography practice.
