What is the Rule of Thirds?

The Rule of Thirds - is the process of dividing an image into thirds, using two horizontal and two vertical lines. This imaginary grid yields nine segments with four intersections points. When you position the most important elements of your image at these intersections, you produce a much more natural image (in theory). It is also suggested that any horizon is placed on either the top horizontal line or bottom horizontal line. Off-center composition is pleasing to the eye because it’s typically where the eyes go first. When there is a subject of object off center, it also give viewers the ability to interact with that space between the. This allows for interpretation and conversation between the subject and the background, as opposed to fully centered subject.
