RULE OF THIRDS COMPOSITION — strict positioning: divide the 16:9 frame into 9 equal parts using 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines (creating a 3x3 grid). The subject's body must be placed EXACTLY ON the right vertical third line (at 66% from the left edge of the frame, NOT at the right edge, NOT in the corner). The subject's face must be at the top-right intersection point of the grid. Approximately 65% of the frame to the subject LEFT shows the temple complex stretching away. About 30% of the frame is to the subject's right (she should NOT be touching or near the right edge). The subject is the focal point at the right vertical third line. Textbook rule-of-thirds composition.

Rule of Thirds
Subject placed at one of the intersections of a 3x3 grid. Creates dynamic, naturally pleasing compositions.
When to use
The most reliable composition rule — works for almost everything when you want balanced, professional framing.
Pro tips
- •Be specific: "subject positioned on the right vertical third, eyes on top horizontal third"
- •Mention percentage: "subject at 66% from left edge"
- •Add "rule of thirds composition" as a direct keyword
