In this video, I’m going to take you beyond just taking ‘pretty pictures’ to show you how you can get the best out of the classic composition technique “the rule of thirds” to make images that have impact AND tell a story.

It may be a basic technique and one that has been discussed many times previously, but as a working photojournalist, I want to share with you how I use this fundamental principle during all my assignments and how you can learn from my approach to using it.

I’ve broken it down into 5 key concepts to make sure you are getting the best out of this classic composition technique!
