1. When might it be a good idea to deliberately break the rules?

When you want the audience to focus on one subject of the photo, for example, putting the subject in the middle to add full emphasis to the subject.

2. Do you think it is possible to break rules if you don’t know they exist? Give reasons for your answer.

Yes, If you don’t know the rules there is a higher chance that you will be able to break them because most of the time the photos we take have important content. This means that we are more likely to take pictures that have the subject placed in the middle which breaks the rule of three.

3. Can a ‘bad’ picture ever be ‘great’? – How important is the context in photography? (context= why a picture was taken, when or   where it was taken, and what message you were trying to make)

A ‘bad’ picture can be ‘great’ if it communicates an idea essentially. The context of a photo is basically the idea or the symbol behind this picture, it expresses what the picture is missing or something the audience wouldn’t understand by only looking at it.

How is context important in Photography? Reference the picture above in your answer. Does the word “Wrong” make a difference? Why?

Knowing the context not only means that the viewer is able to admire the beauty of this photo, but also comprehend the backstory behind it or even the amount of work and time the photographer spends on this photo.
