I took 9 photos of wrong pictures, they broke the rules of out of focus, balancing elements, rule of third, symmetrical patterns, and unclear subject. All of my photos were taken in ISB and they include some small details in the school and some conspicuous elements. Here below are the photos I took, hope you can enjoy viewing them!

Can you take a wrong picture?

I could take a wrong photo depending on which rule I broke. Taking a wrong picture is based on the photographer’s style or how they consider a wrong picture.

Photo taken in 1967 by John Baldessari

Context in photography is really important because it can affect how the picture is being viewed. Context shapes our understanding and interpretation of all visual materials encountered. It could add a background for the photo and provide more thoughts about the picture. The word “Wrong” in this photo makes a difference in changing how viewers consider this photo. The message that Baldessari was trying to say in the image is why should we conform to conventional aspects of art or photography, and why our work has to be judged. However, without this context, the title “Wrong” can mislead viewers to think that this a wrong photo, and should never take pictures like this.
