- 10 minutes read - 1919 wordsTable of Contents
The Rule of Thirds is a powerful composition technique that helps create visually engaging and dramatic images. It involves dividing an image into nine equal sections using two horizontal and two vertical lines. By placing key elements of your composition along these lines or at their intersections, you can create a more balanced and dynamic image. This technique is widely used in photography, filmmaking, and even graphic design to guide the viewer’s eye and create a sense of depth and interest.
