Break the Rules! How to bend photography rules to make amazing photos.


There are many rules and guides in photography to help everyone learn to take a pleasing shot. Once we learn these rules and get good at them then we can learn to break the rules and become creative.
Examples of broken rules are everywhere, Christopher Columbus broke the rule that the earth was flat, Wright brothers broke the rule that people could not fly. Once we master the basics of photography we can learn to reshape these rules to our world to tell the story we want.
With this photo of my brother, landscape shots are meant to be square, I wanted an Epic feel to the shot. I slanted the photo, got down low and really captured the essence of what he is thinking.
