RULE OF THIRDS
The rule of thirds involves mentally dividing up your image using 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines, as shown below.
You then position the important elements in your scene along those lines, or at the points where they meet. The idea is that an off-center composition is more pleasing to the eye and looks more natural than one where the subject is placed right in the middle of the frame |
Golden ratio

Balance. It’s human nature to crave balance. Achieving the perfect balance between all aspects of your life is hugely important to humans. Balance can be visually appealing as well, which means balance plays a big role in composing a photograph.
the golden ratio is really about what the human eye sees, and composing an image that immediately demands attention
The golden ratio is perfectly balanced, and that balance makes it pleasing to the human eye.
In photography, the golden ratio can be used to identify the main subject while still leading the viewer’s eye through the entire image.

phi grid
The Phi Grid helps you visualize the Golden Ratio as a part of each image. It is based on a combination of smaller rectangles in a grid over an image, where four of the rectangles are based on the 1:1.618 ratio.
What you can see when using the Phi Grid is in the spaces where gridlines intersect. These so-called “sweet spots” are places where the eye is naturally drawn in an image. Cropping or aligning an image so that key parts fall in these areas will create focus and harmony.

compared to the rule of thirds the phi grid is almost the same, although they are similar they are not exactly the same and it seems silly to have a little confusion as to which to use as they are almost the same. but they do do different things in the terms of photography. the pjuy
