3, THREE POINTS COMPOSITION METHOD

Three-point composition method is to divide a picture into nine equal parts, that is, to divide it into nine squares and place the items on the vertex or horizontal line, which is often said to be six or nine yards. This requires the photographer to accurately and incorrectly draw six or nine squares, place the product in the appropriate position, and then press the shutter.

The frame structure is easy to understand, the same as our usual arrangement: fold and frame everything, organize it, and put it in this one frame. The frame composition method for product photography also means arranging the subjects in order, ending up in a rectangle that looks tidy. This composition is perfect for photographers who suffer from OCD and seems very comfortable.
