Rule two thirds in photography
It has deployed a very interesting discussion about the rule of two-thirds in photography.
The author (Hiroshi Sugimoto) was accused of disrespect for the audience, because he placed the horizon line on the center of the frame.
Here's a good example that protests against the dogma and dogmatism, including those in the photos.
This example is particularly useful for novice photographers.
Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto (Hiroshi Sugimoto) was famous for his series of seascapes.
This series of impressive by the fact that in all the photographs of the sea frame is split down the middle.
My advice - rule of two-thirds is very good for 'sales' but do not follow these rules if you want to be distinctive.
Yes no rule is set in stone. Most of the time following the rule is best but sometimes breaking it makes things stand out.
Yes, it is like life itself))
Why not making a poll?
Rule of thirds:
I put a little bit wrong, 'Do not always follow the rules and try and do what you like!'
Yes, rules are great to play with, yet shouldn´t being followed slavishly. One´s own aesthetic feel should rule in the end.
Yes, I agree!
Thank you for posting @denn.
Good idea from @shaka....he is another one to 'follow'. From an artist's perspective...yes...rules/principles of design are there to serve the artist ....and the young love to push them...yet the principles are proven guidelines. The eye has its own criteria for enjoyment of art and it will tell you and to be sure what it tells you often times lines up with these principles.
That is not to say do not push these guidelines in pursuit of your expression, however when critiquing your own work as to what is amiss...the principles and elements of design can assist.
Heres an illustration of pushing the 'rules'. An artist knew that one is not to use red in the corner of a painting...right....so what does he do he uses red in all four corners and it works. You see to bend the rules....one must get innovative...because it is the eye that must in the end be satisfied.
Thank you dear @denn for the opportunity to express thought and ponder these things.
All the best....Cheers.
Thank you dear @bluejay for comment. You're right, 'The eye has its own criteria for enjoyment of art and it will tell you and to be sure what it tells you often times lines up with these principles. …....because it is the eye that must in the end be satisfied’ - Yes, for me it is the most important criterion.
That is interesting thank you.
Thank you!

Horizontal line in the middle:
The "rules" exist for a reason, and they can be quite helpful, especially when you are a beginning photographer. I think it is good to know the rules before you break them, and be aware of which rule you are breaking. In the end, no photographic rule is holy and once you develop your own style you can make your own. Or not.
Of course, rules are also very useful, a proven experience. Over time, everyone will choose their way of his skill.
