I was taught to learn the rules of composition so well you don’t think about the rules anymore. Then, open your eyes, heart, and soul and feel the image. The deeper into “the zone” you can get, the deeper the picture becomes. It takes time, practice, and a lot of near misses to elevate your vision to the point of feeling a picture.

Yes it makes total sense Terry! And for a while I learned and tried gain a good understanding of the rules until I started finding myself more and more diving into the moment and ignoring by impulse if that makes sense.

Talking about composition - there are two works that influenced me the most: - Vassiliy Kandinsky “Point and line to plane” - Kazimir Malevich “World as objectness” However, I think it is correct to make a comparison with music. There is classical music - it has a strict canon. And we have jazz - actually it also has canon, but it is mostly about rules how to circumvent classical music rules. There is avant-garde where they try to escape any possible rules. And the most humorous thing that in a world of post-modern - all music was played and all photos were shot. All we are left with - is just translate our feelings and thoughts, because we live in a period where both form and pattern are secondary by default.

I love your channel so much. I would love to hear you critique more work by other artists. I think it's interesting to hear other peoples perspective on images that we're aware of and love but never heard talked about. You do this a lot with photographers as a whole but I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on individual works.

Hi Tatiana, thank you for a thoughtful video - when Kertesz's, Mondrian's Glasses and Pipe came up I thought it was also a reference to another compositional tool; the rule of three (not to be confused with the rule of thirds.) I love conversations about composition, thank you so much.

Nice video Tatiana. I find often that not thinking about the rules of composition actually makes me more creative. I am not sure whether I ignore them or I use them unconsciously but If I don't think about them and just go with the flow I end up creating things I haven't seen before.

@carltanner90652 жыл бұрын
I know about and have learnt the rules about composition, etc, but do I follow them by necessity? No, only if I feel like it or I think a photo may benefit from them. I snap things as I see them and what appeals to me in the moment. Not by following rules or wanting to appeal to what others believe and think. If someone doesn't like my photos, then that's fine by me. That's their own decision and I'm not out to please them, only myself. If they do like them, then great, that's good. Hopefully, they'll like them enough to maybe buy one and spread the word :)
