6. Use the Rule of Thirds to enhance your story. Among the basic rules of composition for success with your photography, one of the most widely-used is the rule of thirds. Using this principle, place the subject outside of the frame’s center, the viewer can roam with the subject, engage longer with the image, and tell more of the story. It’s created by drawing two horizontal and vertical lines into your frame, breaking up the composition into nine sections. (You may also be able to turn this grid on in most cameras or smartphones!) In the following image, you can see my son as he’s sledding out of the frame. Placing him on the right instead of in the center of the frame adds to the sense of adventure and movement.
