There Are No Rules to Photography Because Art is Subjective??????

The so-called photographers who poo-poo the rules usually never took the time to learn them and wouldn’t understand them if they had. You can only break the rules if you know what they are. Most of the “rules” came about after years of trial and error and studying what the great master painters did.

The rule of thirds comes from the psychology of how the eyes look at any image or surface; and where things look best positioned. This is science people! Not subjective decisions.
