The Rule of Odds for Photographers

One of our upcoming photo challenges is the Rule of Odds, so I wanted to share a few examples to help give you some ideas. 

What is the Rule of Odds

The Rule of Odds is a technique stating that grouping together an odd number (ex. 3,5,7,) of subjects in a photograph is more visually interesting than an even number of subjects. This is because odd numbers tend to create more dynamic and asymmetrical compositions, while even numbers tend to create more static and symmetrical compositions. 

Here are a few examples of how you can use the rule of odds in your photography:

 

 Now, time to grab your camera, get creative, and have fun!

A little reminder:
Photography is a journey. Be sure to keep learning, challenging yourself, and pushing the boundaries of your photography, and you'll continue to improve and grow as a photographer!
