Level up your framing with the Golden Ratio (≈1.618). In this short, I show how to use the Fibonacci spiral / phi grid to place your subject at the spiral’s focal point, guide the eye with natural curves and diagonals, and balance negative space for a more cinematic composition—beyond the rule of thirds.
You’ll learn:
• When to choose Golden Ratio vs Rule of Thirds
• How to visualize/overlay the spiral (and rotate it to match your scene)
• Placing key detail at the spiral terminus for a strong focal pull
• Using leading lines and 1:1.618 balance to keep frames clean
• Common mistakes to avoid (center bias, background weight)
