The basic understanding of the Rule of Thirds is if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.
In learning how to use the Rule of Thirds, it is important to ask yourself:
1) What are the points of interest in this shot?
2) Where am I intentionally placing them?
The image above demonstrates an image NOT using the Rule of Thirds on top, and then applying the Rule of Thirds on the bottom. What difference do you notice?
NO Rule of Thirds vs WITH Rule of Thirds
When taking photos of a person, It's a good idea to position them off to one side of the frame. This provides some "breathing space", can show the subject's environment, and stops the photo from looking like a mugshot.
