I can't agree with you.
Like learning most things in life there are basics to learn. Learning the basics has been proven to make you better at what ever it is you are doing.
For instance, learn a musical instrument you need to learn the scale, you need to learn basic tunes like 3 blind mice and bells of St Clemente etc.
learning to cook you will start by making bread, cup cakes and Yorkshire puds.
Learning to race cars/motorbikes you will need to know how to drive slowly first under control.
It's the same with photography. To be good at it it's beneficial to learn basics. After they have been learnt and are second nature you can work on that and improve your craft and possibly break the rules but with meaning.
If you know what it is that makes a photo good you can see the photo before you have even got your camera out of the bag. If you don't know the basics then you are less likely to appreciate the more technical aspects.
Having said that, a good photo is one that the viewer likes regardless how it was taken, what it was taken, who took it and how it was composed.
You could always post a few of your great photos here for us all to see that didn't follow any rules (not having a dig, just think it would be helpful to show what you meant by your post). |
