It’s now been a little over a year since I’ve been taking photography seriously. Since before I picked up a new camera to start this venture, I’ve been studying classic photographers and the rules of photography. I go in and out of following the rules or listening to other peoples critics and comments. But now I’ve come to realize that it really doesn’t matter. I want to show the world through my perspective. So when I say forgetting the rules, I don’t mean throwing everything out. I still keep some things in mind, but canceling the noise of what people will think or questioning whether the picture will come out right in the long run. Same goes for my editing process. I really try to communicate a feeling and emotion over a pretty picture or something that follows all the rules and has all the right elements.
