Golden spiral research

Your viewer's gaze will be invited along the line of the spiral which creates a more symmetrical visual flow and a compelling experience. You want to place the subject (or focal point) of your photograph in the tightest end of the spiral, and the other elements of the picture should roughly follow the path of the spiral. The Golden Spiral can be rotated in the frame or transposed from top to bottom so you can create more variety when you are composing pictures. Taking pictures using the Golden Spiral is a more fluid and visually compelling way to structure your photos
