Rabatment
Category
Subject
Rabatment is a layout technique where a frame's short side is folded into its long side to form an implicit square, placing subjects along this dividing line.
Harmonizing rectangles: Rabatment works by taking the height of your image and mapping it horizontally to form a visual square within the wider frame. Aligning your main vertical element on this imaginary boundary creates a sense of mathematical harmony without looking rigid or centered.
When to use: Reach for rabatment in wider aspect ratios like 16:9 when the rule of thirds (placing subjects one-third into the frame) feels too spread out or unbalanced.
