Wrong Photos
How is context important in Photography?
In a photo, context is basically what you see, it can be setting off the main focus, or creating the tone of the picture. But in the photo on the left, the background setup seems to be blurry, because the composition of this photo does not have a main subject, or its main focus is unclear. Which we won’t notice whether the author wanted us to recognize the tree, the person, the car, the house, the road, the sky…?
Rules of Photography are used to help make photos look better, they can also be stated as a standard to what good photos look like. In my opinion, there are several important rules like the Rule of thirds, diagonal lines, the use of frames, and lighting. Although rules are undismissive, there are many many pictures that look absolutely excellent without the rules, for example having a photo in a blur, many subjects in one photo, etc. But people are not able to break any rules if they don’t exist, rules are made by people, and they made them because it can help make photos look better; they aren’t really rules, they are just there to see what looks good.
A “bad” picture can definitely be “great,” if a photo is having more than one subject, it might be trying to convey two stories, or show how they were parallel, sometimes, even black and white photos look very nice, so the idea of context is to tell a story to the audience without having a word, and only by the view.
