Remember when I told you about the Rule of Thirds? 👀
It’s one of the easiest ways to make your photos look more intentional, whether you’re using an iPhone or a professional camera.
Here’s how it works: Imagine dividing your photo into 9 equal squares with two horizontal and two vertical lines. Instead of putting your subject smack in the middle of every photo, try placing them along one of those lines or where two lines intersect. This gives your subject breathing room to create balance, movement, and a more interesting composition.
Want to try it on your iPhone?
1️⃣ Open Settings.
2️⃣ Scroll to Camera.
3️⃣ Toggle ON “Grid.”
4️⃣ Open your camera and start experimenting!
On many Android phones, you can find a similar grid option in your Camera settings.
PRO TIP: The rule of thirds is a guideline, not a law. Sometimes a perfectly centered photo is exactly what you need. The magic is knowing when to do each.
