/The Rule of Thirds
By Kim Brewer-Bettencourt
Implementing different techniques using the rule of thirds in a photograph creates visual interest.
The composition guideline using this rule is achieved by using two imaginary grid lines both horizontally and vertically and placing your subject on one side of the photograph creating a negative space on the opposing side.
In these exmples, the image is moved off center to create an interesting asymmetrical balance with the weighted part of the image on the left.
