All you need to do is pick up Camera Awesome. 618 of a rectangle, our photo is in harmony with the universe!įor our purposes, we can apply the rule very easily, without really having to know advanced mathematics. What does this all mean to us photographers? It means that by putting our subjects along a line that is not exactly 1/3 of a rectangle, but actually. Quite a bit of cool stuff resulted from this, two of those things are the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Spiral. The perfect rectangle, as agreed upon by a lot of really smart people throughout history, is 1 x 1.618. In short and for our photographic purposes, the ‘Golden Ratio’ which is 1.6180339887 ( wiki link), is simply stating that a rectangle shouldn’t be too long (too rectangley), and it sure as heck shouldn’t be too square.

You’ve also probably heard of the Golden Ratio, if not, give it a Google and you’ll find out all you ever wanted to know about it. I’m also pretty sure there is quite a bit of math going on in that iPhone of yours. Mathematics can even help to explain everything from financial markets to aesthetic principles. Well, I’m no mathematician, but from what I’ve seen, I’m pretty sure the mathematicians are right. I’m sure you have heard that mathematics is the language of the universe. That being said let’s dive into the the true foundation of these rules… Because fun is really the only true ‘rule’ in photography!

So feel free to use these principles as you see fit, but just make sure you are having fun at the same time. A guideline that we can choose to ignore if your creative muse directs you. Before that, I want to mention something about having fun.Īlthough we call it the ‘Rule of Thirds’, let’s not get hung up on the word ‘rule’.

In this installment, we are going to explore the foundation of this rule. I hope everyone enjoyed experimenting with it. In our last installment, we took a look at an age old principle of composition: the ‘ Rule of Thirds’.
