I've been having this thought for a while that we should talk about life beyond bokeh and shallow depth of field. When I look at the photographers that inspire me and the work that has left an impression in my mind so little of it has anything to do with bokeh or shallow depth of field. So I thought it would be fun explore ALL the "rules" of composition and how we can push ourselves to explore new ways of seeing and to how maybe push out of a creative rut. What are the different types of composition: 1. Rule of thirds & Negative Space 2. Linear Perspective 3. Framing (leading lines) 4. Silhouette 5. Selective Focus 6. Dominant Foreground/Contributing Background 7. Controlled depth of field 8. Introducing Disorder 9. Rule of Odds 10. Texture & Patterns 11. Juxtaposition 12. Color Theory 13. Scale 14. Reflection & Symmetry 15. Panning 16. Perspective 17.
