Golden Ratio Viewfinder — composition tool for photographers and artists What it does Uses the golden section to create balanced, harmonious compositions quickly and reliably. Acts as a viewfinder and painting guide to help you locate the composition’s centre of gravity and frame subjects with precision. Key benefits — why you need it Faster, more consistent composition: find strong focal points and arrange elements to produce visually satisfying results without guesswork. Improves drawing and framing skills: repeatedly using the grid and centre point trains your eye to recognize balanced layouts. Works with standard photographic proportions: bezel is tuned to a 3:2 aspect ratio so what you see through the viewfinder matches common camera and print formats. Durable field-ready construction: made of ultra-2mm acrylic for stable use in studio or on location. Main features Golden-ratio guides: integrated lines based on the golden section to guide placement of key elements. Central reference point: a clearly marked point in the middle of the frame for quick centring and alignment. 3:2 bezel area: designed for photographers and printers who use 3:2 framing. Robust material: ultra-2mm acrylic resists bending and light wear for dependable performance. How to use Hold the viewfinder up to your eye or position it over your sketchpad or canvas to preview composition. Use the golden-ratio lines to place focal elements and the centre point to assess balance and gravity. The 3:2 bezel lets you see exactly what will appear in camera or print, making framing decisions straightforward. Compatibility and sizing Designed around a 3:2 aspect ratio (common in DSLR/mirrorless cameras and many prints). Compact and lightweight thanks to 2 mm acrylic construction; easy to carry in a camera bag or art kit. Durability and performance Heavy-duty acrylic withstands rough handling and outdoor conditions while maintaining flatness and clarity. Stable, resilient design for repeatable, accurate framing sessions. Practical use scenarios Photography: Compose a landscape or portrait on location; use the golden-ratio guides and centre point to place the horizon and main subject for balanced, camera-ready framing. Painting and studio work: Plan the layout of a painting or study by testing multiple placements through the viewfinder before committing paint to canvas. Urban sketching and plein air: Quickly evaluate and frame scenes with the 3:2 bezel while working outdoors; the rigid acrylic survives pocketing and field use. What you get A simple, reliable viewfinder that combines golden-section guides, a centre reference point, and a 3:2 bezel in a heavy-duty 2 mm acrylic construction to improve composition and framing across photography and visual art.
