The Fibonacci Spiral: one of the best compositional tools we have as photographers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Huawei P20 Pro Phone camera<\/a> has the Fibonacci Spiral composition tool built in, which makes this way easier and more fun. This feature alone can make the purchase of the phone worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyways, the idea of the Fibonacci Spiral is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see the spiral shape in nature. Thus, perhaps there is some inherent beauty in the proportions of the Fibonacci Spiral. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For myself, I see the use of the Fibonacci Spiral to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Consider the proportions<\/em> of the visual elements in your frame. <\/li>
  2. Make your compositions more dynamic<\/a> by integrating a spiral into your photos. <\/li>
  3. Think curves<\/a>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To integrate the Fibonacci Spiral into your photography composition, here are some simple tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Tilt<\/a><\/em> your camera to connect the diagonal tail of the spiral into the corner of your frame.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>
    2. Your photo doesn’t need to fit the Fibonacci Spiral perfectly. It is just a guide<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>
    3. Analyze your photographs after you shoot them, with using the Fibonacci Spiral as an Overlay.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      In Lightroom, you can analyze your compositions for the Fibonacci Spiral by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Going to the “Develop” module, <\/li>
      2. Pressing hotkey “R” for crop mode<\/li>
      3. Hotkey “O” to put on the overlay for Fibonacci Spiral. <\/li>
      4. Then you can press “Shift+O” to change the orientation of the Fibonacci Spiral.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
