COMPOSITION 1

RULE OF THIRDS//


Rule of thirds focuses on keeping the subject within the horizon line, this gives a different feel to the photo. for example in the first picture the horizon line is in theupper third which shows there's more detail below the horizon line, while the second picture the horizon line is on the lowere third which gives more of an open feel, the third picture shows the rule of thirds being used with a grid.




 

RULES OF EVEN AND ODD//

Rule of Odds is if you have an odd number of objects in an image it will be more interesting and therefore better to look at. If there is an even number of objects, the brain would have an easy time sorting the objects into pairs and therefore bringing in symmetry and dullness.

"The human eye tends to wander to the center of a group. With even number of objects, eye will end up at the negative space in center.
The rule becomes important when trying to achieve a visually pleasing composition of several objects. A common form of usage is having three objects in frame, they always form either a line or a triangle, both are considered pleasurable shapes."





RULE OF TRIANGLES//

The rule of triangles is more of an unspoken rule, naturally when you take a photo you tend to capture everything in the shape of a triangle because triangles are in everything you see. The triangle tends to make a more solid shape in a photograph.



 

RULE OF SPACE//

The rule of space is generally created so that if the subject is looking into "space" the picture should show the space that is being looked into. This makes the story within the photograph very clear and helps complete the image.
