Rules?! There are no rules! No, seriously, in the photography space (and any creative space for that matter), how can we say there are rules around something so subjective? In this video, I explain why I feel there are no rules in photography...and this may not go in the direction you're thinking. Tap in!

    Wow! Anthony what a way to kick off 2024, you knocked this topic out of the "ball park". Photography is the capture of light, the moment, the feeling/emotion felt or being shown. To quote one of your recent videos "This is Game Changing... advice". Hi Anthony from across the pond here in the UK, thank you for your reply to my New Year message. Glad to read that you took some time away from KZread, to be with family and to recharge your creative batteries.

    Totally agreed. Sometimes we shoot for other photographers, when we should be shooting for our clients. None of my clients ever ask about photography rules, when they get their photos back.lol

    Agree! I recently posted an image from the second year of my six-year long international project - six years of exhibition - to a group of "professional photographers." They ignored the story and said, "It isn't sharp." I'm an award winning photographer and the image was from an acclaimed show....

    That’s sadly all many photographers care about - the technical aspects. The story is almost always overlooked and I really dislike that about the photography community. I will always value the story over the technical!

    Bruh! Straight Facts. I slowed posting in these groups cause they’re so judge mental 😒

    I stopped posting in groups forever ago because I just didn’t find the information useful. No one asks what your intention was, and the feedback is really just what they would have done, which can have value, but if you shoot how I mentioned in this video - with intention - there’s not really any feedback needed from anyone else.

    Go back and watch my past 5 Friday vids, you’ll see a “pattern” 😉 although the changing exposure was because I was too lazy to flag a window and it so happened to be a partly cloudy day. The sun was NOT a paid actor lol. Thanks though man, I appreciate it!
