famous photographers often say, “learn the rules and then break the rules”. even more extreme, he said, “Do not think about those rules.” But what happens then, young photographers could not be bigger than the famous photographer. Since the famous photographer are only taught about a “sense”, where there is no theory about the copying of a “sense”

Nice post! . Photography is an art and it doesn’t have any measurements. the only rules that are to be observed are the rules governing a state where the photographers are going to explore, thanks for sharing…

As an artist, I’ve often wondered why people went to school for something that seemed to me as something that could not be taught. That to me, is the rules…. If you were to take a class it tells you the “correct” way to do things… What makes things “correct”?? The people that teach the class is who… When you have a vision, and you want to see it photographed as you see it, you have to know the science (the rules) behind it, to create that vision…. Then break those rules and bring out the artist in you..

I agree with photoglam. Photography is an art and it doesn’t have any measurements.When you are in photography and works with passion, everything will just come along. Your subject and you will have a distinct connection that will have a superb results. So I think it’s not necessary to break rules since there are no rules to follow.

Knowing the rules are far more important than breaking them. If you plan to break them, be sure to have an alternative to that rule. Or else all will fail.

I strictly recommend not to wait until you get enough money to order all you need! You should get the mortgage loans or just auto loan and feel yourself free

I agree that you have to know the rules first before you even think of attempting to break them. If you are a newbie at photography, learning the rules and sticking to them would be a big help in improving your skills. Later on, as you progress in your craft, you will notice that you’re slowly developing your own style … your own take on different subjects. This is when you could leisurely stray away from the rules and just rely on your own abilities and judgment.

Well, dear Mr. pics world, your comment made me quite sad. You know, I remember somebody say that you cannot brake something that you don’t know, and it seems to me that you have no idea about composition. The rules that we talk about so often were not made by some kind of a shmock, but by the great dutch painters of the early Middle Ages, based (at that time) on empiric observation and understanding of the human eye and brain. And you know what ?…Even the great today’s photographers follow those rules, and if they brake them, they know how to do it, because they just know them. And I incline to believe them, because I’ve heard of Rembrandt or Alain Briot or Marc Adamus or…, but I’ve never heard about you !
Thank you !

In the photography world, the only rules that are to be observed are the rules governing a state where the photograpers are going to explore. For as long as the pictures are artisitically done, then there are no rules.

Rules are just like promises, they are usually meant to be broken. But make sure if you break it, you have a good reason why you did it & what you intend to do the next time you follow such rules.
