Rule of Thirds – Emotion

A man sitting in the wilderness, looking off to the side

The theme for this weeks Photo-blog was using the rule of thirds to convey emotion. In film class, we’re taught to always show our subject looking into open space, because the frame conveys emotion. If the subject looks into the open space, the audience feels more connected. So, I had my subject face away from the open space to convey him feeling closed off, and deep in thought.
