this will add to the discussion about composition in photography, because in a lot of ways photography is just another art form.

Nice chart. I'll add the idea that composition would be using the principles to arrange the elements in the image.

Also ordered the book - hoping for a nice read.
I have always considered the “rules” of good photography- composition, exposure, etc. a foundation upon which to build a good image.
Many great photographers consistently break or bend or mold the “rules” to fit their visions with great success.
Before any of us can do that we have to know the “rules” and know how to use them. Only then we can exercise creative rule breaking when taking great photos.

I think you are spot on.
Know the rules,
Practice a great deal,
Find your own way of looking,
Gradually lessen the ‘engineering’ in the psyche and enlarge the ‘creative’
Enjoy!

'Rules' of Compostion is misleading. Think of them as recipes for success, or at least - improvement
