52 Projects week 3: Rules? What rules?

Here we are in week 3 of following the projects in the book 52 Assignments: Street Photography by Brian Lloyd Duckett.

Still free ranging rather than following the order though – this week I selected the project “Rules? What rules?” – where the task was to produce nine images that break the ‘rules’ of photography but still work… that might mean breaking rules of composition, rules about not ‘chopping off’ limbs or heads, shooting with a straight horizon, and so on. See if you can spot the rules I’ve broken in the images below…

This week it was great to have Sharon joining in on the task, although her images were amazing and very quickly made me think I possibly shouldn’t be bothering at all… but with another look, I’m actually pretty pleased with how these came out. I did suggest a trip into the city, but Sharon (rightly!) reminded me that I’d said in a previous week that the city was really the ‘easy’ option and I should challenge myself more. Challenge accepted!
