COMPOSITION

Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a type of composition that is used within many photographs. The framing of the image is divided into nine squares using four guide lines. Within this frame, the subject that is being photographed must be touching the points where the lines meet. Either on the left or the right side of the frame.

The absence within the image creates an intriguing effect on the audience and makes them want to look further within the image.
Golden Ratio
There's one other way to use the golden ratio to compose a photograph. Instead of using the spiral, create a grid like in the rule of thirds, but one that uses a 1:1.618 ratio, instead of dividing the frame into equal parts.
