Photo composition is how a photographer arranges visual elements within their frame. “It's a pleasing organization of objects within your rectangle.
Understanding Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that divides an image into nine equal parts to help create a well-balanced and visually interesting image.
- Divide the image into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines
- Place the subject in the left or right third of the image
- Place important elements along the lines or at their intersections
Why it works
- Helps balance the subject with negative space
- Draws the viewer's eye to the main focal point
- Creates more tension, energy, and interest
How to use it
- Most cameras and phones have a rule of thirds setting
- In landscape photography, the horizon line is often placed on a thirds line
