the rule of thirds is considered by some to be the 'golden rule' of photography. luckily, the rule of thirds happens to be one of the easiest rules to follow. the rule requires dividing your photo into thirds (horizontally and vertically) in order to have nine parts. in simpler words, instead of centering your subject, move the subject left or right, up or down to create a more aesthetically pleasing photograph.
