Superb Rule-of-Thirds Photography

Posted: 09 Dec 2010 05:33 AM PST

You might not know it, but if you're into photography, you might have noticed how better it looks than not following this rule in some cases. It's the Rule of Thirds, a simple rule to be followed so that your subject is placed within a certain area of an imaginary grid, which splits your picture in 9 equal areas.

The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would. - Rule of Thirds at Wiki

This is what the imaginary grid looks like, and how you may use it to place your subject somewhere besides the center of the image:

From Wikipedia

So I've searched for examples of pictures using this rule, and I've found some superb examples of usage. These are amazing, and you should really visit each one of these photographers (by clicking the pictures) for more great pictures, and even buying some of these images. I'll probably buy one or two to hang in my wall. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Beautiful Photos by Ryan Matthew Smith

I was browsing around when I bumped into the work of Ryan Matthew Smith , which got my attention right away. His photos are pretty elegant and beautiful. The compositions, color combination and perspectives are simple and pretty unique...the images get our attention and we keep observing the details and shapes of each piece for a while - at least that happened with me. ;)

Check out a small selection from Ryan's work here and visit his website for more inspiring photos.

Ryan Matthew Smith graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle in 2007. Since late 2007 Ryan has been employed at Intellectual Ventures as digital imaging editor and photographer.
