ODD NUMBERS

WHEN you’re shooting multiple subjects or focal points in a single frame, you should get in the habit of considering how many to include, as well as where you position them. One or two subjects work well, but when it comes to larger amounts, odd numbers produce more balanced and pleasing compositions than even ones. You can position these so that one is near the centre of the frame, then distribute the others evenly on either side, for a balanced feel. Alternatively, you might decide to offset the composition by including different numbers on either side to emphasise one side of the frame from the other.
