Where can I purchase framed color prints of European cities for my office?

The rule I apply most when taking city landscape photographs is the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds means dividing the image into three equal parts horizontally and three vertically, creating a grid that helps balance the composition. This may mean two thirds of the image will be sky while the bottom third contains the main subject of the photograph. The panoramic print below is a perfect example: roughly two thirds sky, with the remaining third occupied by the London skyline. You can see all of the London panoramic prints here.

This rule also works vertically. You can see in the print of Paris below that the Eiffel Tower occupies roughly the left-hand third of the image while the cityscape fills the remaining vertical thirds. This particular print appears several times across my website pages and on the blog, where you can view it in context. I’ve also produced a black-and-white version, which is included in the Paris black-and-white prints gallery.

Sometimes I use the rule of thirds both horizontally and vertically. In the Paris prints below I’ve divided the trees into roughly a third on each side and also across the horizontal plane, creating a pleasing structure. The subject in the middle helps balance the vertical and horizontal elements. In the print of 42nd Street in New York on the right you can also see a split of thirds vertically and horizontally, reinforcing the composition. It’s a simple but effective rule to follow.

You can see these two prints above in the galleries. You’ll see I use the rule of thirds a lot. The Paris prints is here and the New York prints is here. Give us a call if you have any questions Mon-Sat 9am-6pm.
