Portrait Photography and Rule Of Thirds

In portrait photography, the Rule Of Thirds plays a significant role. Applying or breaking the Rule of Thirds is the borderline of professional portraiture or just a headshot! 

The rule of Thirds makes the distinction.

When composing for a portrait picture, do not put the model’s head in the frame’s centre. Instead, put the model’s eyes on one of the hot-spots of the rule of thirds. By doing so, you will notice a massive improvement in portrait pictures. 

The below picture shows a novice approach for a portrait picture. When the model’s head is placed in the center of the frame, you will have a large negative space at the top, NOT very pleasing.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”25147″ img_size=”600×800″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn” title=”Portrait Photography Skill”][vc_column_text]In the picture below, the model’s eyes are in the Rule of Thirds hotspot.
