Brief

See more contest details

This contest is for your photos that break the "rules" of photography, whether defying the conventions of composition, exposure, etc. You could choose to ignore the rule of thirds, embrace blown highlights, centre your subject, tilt the horizon, have your subject moving out of the frame; whatever you do, break the rules and show how it works anyway. Sometimes the best photos are the ones that should not work, so I am looking forward to seeing your creative photos.
