Golden Photo Section of an Image and Photo

Golden Photo Section of an image – by using this technique it will help you to take better photos for your web site. This is the hidden secret many professional photographers don’t want you to know.

I have discovered its not a matter of aiming and shooting an image for your web site but to know where to put the subject in the frame. Many new people to photography make the same mistake by putting the object in the centre of the photo but its not the way to do it because your eyes set focus on 1 of 4 golden sections of an image.

Lets take a look at an example.

Which photo below directs your eye to the subject with ease?

Is it image 1 or image 2?

image 1

image 2

If you take another look at both images you will find that with image 1 you look straight at the object and with image 2 you just look at it attempting to take a grasp of where to set your focus on.

So what are the 4 golden points you should set focus on
when you’re taking a Photo?

Here is your answer.

Golden Sections of an Photo

Above the red dots represent where you need to sit your object in the frame.

Experiment and take a few photos and compare what works well with what I have suggested and next time you pick up a magazine notice carefully here the subject is placed in the photo. You should notice its not dead enter and the photo has been taken by placing the subject in one of the golden sections.

Tip – Never place your subject dead centre and if you can not place it in the Golden section slightly place the object off centre.
