The rule of thirds is a standard photographers use to frame their images. You divide the frame into a grid of three across and three down, and then don’t put your subject in the middle square. Just like any really good rule, it’s also fun when you know when to break it. However, for this photo, I didn’t.

Thanks. It was a great shoot. The young man is so natural, I didn’t have to give him much direction.
