Sweet Baby (C) - Gresham Oregon Newborn Photographer

Okay, so as I mentioned I have a lot of catching up to do since creating the new blog.  I photographed this sweet baby girl in my studio more than a couple of months ago already!  She was just as sweet as can be and my first girl after photographing several boys so I got to use my girly stuff for the first time in the studio!  So exiting...Ha ;)

Composition - The Rule of Thirds (Gresham Oregon Photographer)

Per the KDP newsletter as promised!

Rule of Thirds - Photographic Composition
Portrait Photography

Composition has the potential to make or break a photo. One of the first rules I chose to master the understanding of in photography was the 'Rule of Thirds.' By using the rule of thirds, the visual interest of a photo is enhanced by placing the subject off-center.

The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to break the photo down into thirds both horizontally and vertically so that you have nine squares.Your point of interest should be placed on the intersecting points of any two lines, or along the dividing lines.

In head and shoulder portraits, the eyes are the point of interest and therefore should be positioned on or near an intersection of two lines or along a dividing line.

In a three-quarter or full length portrait the face is the point of interest and should be positioned on or near an intersection of two lines or along a dividing line.

When taking photos as you're learning to use the rule of thirds keep in mind what the points of interest are in the shot and where you are placing them.
