Boost your photography skills by studying the composition of the greats

Something as simple as following the rule of thirds can take a photo from “good” to “great” with just a little more effort.

It’s easy enough to look up different assembly rules, but sometimes real-world examples help more than anything. For this reason, Raymond Thi created Geometric Shots, a website dedicated to collecting and detailing geometrically composed photos from iconic movies and TV shows.

What is smart about the site is its organizational structure. If you’re just looking for a bit of random inspiration, you can scroll through the page to see the latest photos with comments uploaded by Thi. If you have a specific style of composition in mind, you can narrow your search using the menu or search options, both of which rely on a set of tags to categorize each “rule” or “guide” seen in the photo frame.

Currently Thi offers the following categories as menu options: triangle, quadrant, circle, vanishing point, symmetry, diagonal, halves and thirds.

Geometric Shots is a simple site, but the lack of fluff makes it a great source for little bits of inspiration. Between it and the other social media resources Thi shares her annotated photos on, there’s no reason you can’t track down little snippets of real-world examples you can follow to up your photography game.
