How to use the "rule of three points" in photography?

Most people who take pictures know that composition is the most basic. Unless beginners may want to start from when learning this kind of art, even though it is impossible for everyone to correctly place an object in the center of the picture, the basis of trigonometry and its application in portrait and street photography are worth reviewing.

Trinity rule: a quick guide According to this rule, a photo is divided into nine equal grids, which are composed of two horizontal lines and vertical lines. These lines intersect four times, so you want to place objects in the frame around these points. Therefore, the eyes of the viewer are attracted to important objects in the most natural way.

Portrait Photography Portrait photography provides an excellent opportunity to practice the application of "Trigonometry", because unlike street photography, photographers have enough time to place the subject in the right way, construct the correct composition, and get a perfectly balanced shot.

If the object is aimed at the center instead of the center, in our case, the photo will be more easily perceived visually. This painting aroused the interest of the audience. This is very useful for portraits and street shooting.

Street photography Street photography is an image of people and environment captured in people's lives and natural environment. The photographer must be integrated with the background, invisible and not affect what happens in the picture.

There is no setting in the street shooting. Of course, it can take one minute if possible. It only takes a few seconds for the photographer to take pictures before the subject continues to move or leave.

However, strictly abide by the principle of "the rule of three points". If you use the intersection as a landmark for placing objects, you can take amazing photos.

In the photo, the object is placed on a vertical line.

Even in group photography, the three-point method should be used.

This short guide will help you get started, but the important step is to go out and practice. Trigonometry is a very useful method, especially for the introduction of photography, which requires perfect mastery to further develop one's hobbies and styles.
