    The document discusses the 2/3-1/3 concept, an offshoot of the Rule of Thirds in photography composition. It states that the 2/3-1/3 concept involves dividing the frame into two parts, with one containing 2/3 and the other 1/3. This asymmetrical division creates imbalance that attracts viewer interest. The division can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Examples show how it can be applied in landscape and portrait photography to emphasize subjects. Readers are challenged to apply it in photo shoots of landscapes and people.

    2/3 – 1/3 AN OFFSHOOT OF
    THE RULE OF THIRDS
    PHOTZY.COM
    We call this the 2/3–1/3 concept, because it is not established as
    Difficulty Level: Very easy a separate rule; it is more of an offshoot of the Rule of Thirds. This
    concept is often applied in landscape photography. However, it can work in other
    Skill Points: genres as well. Simplified, the 2/3–1/3 concept simply states that you divide your
    • Discovering how dividing image frame into two parts: one containing 2/3 and the other containing 1/3.
    the frame creates interest
    • Learning how to apply this
    KEY LESSON: The idea behind the 2/3 and 1/3 concept is that you create
    concept to different subjects an asymmetrical division of the frame. This division creates an imbalance
    that attracts and maintains viewer interest. The division of the frame
    does not need to be horizontal. It can also be vertical, or even diagonal.

    1 2 3
    1- In this photograph, the image has
    been divided using the 2/3–1/3
    concept (vertically and horizontally).
    Look familiar? The cross point is the
    sweet spot on the Rule of Thirds grid.
    2- Do not blindly follow a rule or concept
    without thinking through the entire
    composition. The composition of
    4 5
    this photo is weakened due to another rule of composition called “Line of Sight”. All of your composition
    elements need to work together harmoniously.
    3- The 2/3–1/3 concept works equally well with angled compositions. A straight horizon line is not required.
    4- The 2/3–1/3 concept can help you to establish what is the subject of your photo. The visual weight
    between the woman and the landscape would be quite equal without the concept being applied here.
    Giving the woman only 1/3 of the frame diminishes her visual weight, and thus sets up the landscape as
    the subject.
    5- By imagining the division of lines in your mind as you take a photograph- you will create better-
    composed shots.

    ACTION ASSIGNMENT!
    1- Organize a landscape photo shoot where you will apply the 2/3–1/3 concept. Shoot horizontally and
    vertically. Change the placement of the division, and make sure to try an angular division.
    2- Organize a photo shoot with a friend. Create at least 6 different photographs where the frame is divided
    into the 2/3–1/3 concept. Place your friend into these 6 scenes as the subject. Remember! The most
    successful compositions use at least three rules, or tools, of composition.

    HOW DID YOU DO?


    • Were you able to apply the concept while placing your friend as the subject? What three tools or rules of
    composition did you use in addition to the 2/3 - 1/3 concept to establish your friend as the subject?
