Rule of Thirds (n.) A compositional guideline that divides an image into a 3×3 grid, suggesting that important elements should be placed along these lines or at their intersections. In mobile photography, many camera apps offer a grid overlay to help apply this rule. Following the Rule of Thirds can create more balanced and interesting compositions, drawing the viewer’s eye naturally through the image. It’s particularly useful for landscapes, portraits, and general scene composition.
