Golden Rule of Photography - The Rule of Thirds

One of the most popular 'rules' in photography is the Rule of Thirds. It is also popular amongst artists. The Rule of Thirds is based on the fact that the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two-thirds up a page. It is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design.

How To Get Good Pictures - Camera Composition

-Headroom: Enough room for the subject's head. Too low in the frame (too much headroom) makes them appear short. Not enough headroom makes them look tall and scrunched. Correct headroom gives the subject just enough space around their head to make them look comfortable.

-Eye placement: Should be in the top third of the screen (see rule of thirds). You want the viewer not to notice the camera-work so, make it look natural and standard.
