A Simple Rule Of Thirds to take great product photos

What is the rule of thirds? 


The rule of thirds is a basic principle of composition in photography that can be applied to product photography on a phone camera. Essentially, the rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal parts. The idea is to position the most important elements of your image along these lines or at the points where they intersect.


In product photography, the rule of thirds can be used to create a more visually interesting and balanced image. For example, you might position your resin coaster at one of the intersections of the lines, or align the edge of the coaster with one of the horizontal or vertical lines.


Here are some tips for using the rule of thirds in phone photography for product shots:


  1. Turn on the gridlines: Most phone cameras have a grid feature that overlays a grid of lines on the screen. Turn this feature on to help you align your subject along the lines or at the intersections.
  2. Position your subject off-center: When framing your shot, try to position your subject off-center, either along one of the horizontal or vertical lines or at one of the intersections.

  1. Use negative space: Negative space is the empty space around your subject. By using negative space, you can create a more balanced and visually interesting image. Try positioning your subject in one part of the frame and using negative space to balance the composition. Here u used negative space in front which wasn't great to highlight your image
