In plain words

Connect three points, such as three people or a head and two hands, to form a triangle. A base at the bottom feels stable, and an inverted triangle feels uneasy.

When to use it

Group shots of three people, introducing a family or team, arranging three products, and upper-body shots of a person (head as the apex, shoulders as the base).
