The Rule of Odds in photography is a compositional principle that suggests an image is more visually engaging when it features an odd number of subjects, typically three, five, or seven. This technique creates a natural sense of balance and harmony while maintaining a dynamic, asymmetrical appeal.
Odd-numbered groupings prevent the eye from settling too quickly, encouraging deeper exploration of the frame. Whether applied to portraits, still life, or landscapes, the Rule of Odds enhances visual interest and adds a subtle layer of storytelling to the composition.
