We show you five traditional rules of photography and composition, and then what happens when you break them. It is said, “to first break the rules, you have to understand them,” so Makeda Sandford, content marketing manager at MPB Brooklyn, shows us how it’s done, and then shows us the magic that can happen when you throw out the rule book. Broken rules in photography add a certain edge to the final product, allowing us to convey more mysterious emotions, and invoke playfulness in an otherwise typical shot. Watch the video to learn how to best be a photography rule breaker. — Shop kit used in the video Canon EOS R6: https://bit.ly/3gUObZU Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM:https://bit.ly/3BsQ5KP Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM: https://bit.ly/357GqNG Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART: https://bit.ly/3LDloHz
