the first thing that every beginner photographer learns is the rule of thirds in photography.

especially you’re taking a class to learn photography then every teacher teaches you about this topic on the very first day of your class.

It definitely helps you to improve your photography performance and look.

if you don’t know anything about the rule of thirds and how to apply the rule of third with your images then this is the article that helps you to know it and master it.

in this article, I’m covering some important topics for beginners.

who wants to know what is the rule of thirds? and how to apply it with landscape and portrait photography.

with some simple explanations and examples.

I saw many famous YouTubers and photographers who use this rule of thirds to make their image/videos look so different.

believe me, this thing definitely helps you to look at your images more vibrant and eye-catchy without doing so many things.

so now without talking about this rule, let’s know about it and how it works…

Learn Rule Of Thirds In Photography Under 5 Minutes

this article is very straight forward, which means I am just talking about this rule and some unique ways to apply this thing with your existing photography.

here is the first and very important question for you…

What is the rule of thirds?

here is the simple answer to this question.

let me ask you some simple questions, which you already know if you like to capture images.

like this…

if you’re saying no then you need to capture some more images with your smartphone.

you can find this kind of frame in your camera viewfinder.

so as you can see this full-frame is divided into nine different sections.

just look at that four intersecting points…

your main AIM is to place your subject in one of these intersecting points.

that’s it, this is called a rule of thirds.

Why the rule of thirds is very important and popular??

as you can see this kind of photography AIM is very easy to archive.

but do you know why it is so important in this photography industry?

here are some cool facts you need to know before mastering the rule of thirds…

the very first and important advantage of the rule of third is that it makes your image looks so steady and dynamic.

just try capturing images with and without the rule of thirds ( examples are available at the end of the article…)

if you capture images with this technique then you’re not only capturing your subject but instead, you’re also trying to cover more environmental kinds of things in your images.

which is more important if you’re doing some kind of landscape of cinematography or even doing street photography.

one thing which you always need to remember is that do not judge someone else or your images on the base of this rule.

if your main focus is the subject then you don’t even need this rule, you’re ok with that.

so remember the rule of thirds is not necessary, it’s just one kind of concept which every photography needs to remember.

An Easy Trick To Capture Images Using The Rule Of Thirds

if you somehow forgot to capture images using this rule or if you have already captured an image with this rule but don’t like it anymore then just crop your images as your requirement.

and you’re good to go.

or you can even capture both types of images, and choose which one you like.

here are some images which are captured with and without rule of thirds…

Not applying this rule at all…

I found this image on the internet, and it looks very bed if your shooting videos at only focusing on the subject, like this…

and none of your audience may find something interesting ( just forgot your beautiful face ) in the entries video.

so it’s better to shoot videos using the rule of thirds.

Landscape photography Example

this is one of my favorite examples of landscape photography which is captured using this rule.

apart from that, there are so many different ways you can express your photography.
