Begin with a guiding premise. Wordless, photography functions as a visual medium of human expression. It may rise to art in the right hands. The techniques of this artform will serve this outcome. Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph.

Begin with a guiding premise, if someone comes off as pretentious when talking about composure the words are going to be incongruous to their actual work.

Unless I am misunderstanding, it's quite clever to NOT use "quote reply" so no one can take your comment personally. ROFL!

Humongous AMEN. Did you review his work ? Much of it really does succeed in displaying applications of his "precepts". And yet, it all fails to establish him as "a photographer". Acoarst theres no sooprise in that.

As well, bear in mind that the photographer Minor White once said that learning photography takes ten years.

Minor was always high on organic lettuce. His sense of the passage of time is questionable.

Dobie Gillis had Maynard G. Krebbs.
Likewise A. Adams had Minor White.

DirtFarmer has got it right. You are a photographer once you press the button. You may not be a good photographer but you are a photographer. I consider myself a photographer but admit that after over 72 years (I'm 82), I am still learning and enjoying. I am sure there are those with a more acute and learned background in science of photography take, on average, "better" pictures than I. However, I enjoy my results as do my family and friends for whom I provide prints, calendars, etc. I'm afraid I find it a bit pompous to establish a limit to just who can be considered "a photographer."

The OP pretty much admits to pomposity by his using that one-word title, "Precepts". An honest broker will say "Guide Lines".
Browsing the OPs posted pix, I note that his work does a poor job of selling his "precepts". It certainly *displays* them, in a somewhat in-you-face way, but wont win many buyers.
