Preliminary Project: Assignment and Production

My tutor has brought it to my attention that i should do a preliminary project. Something simple and separate from my actual project for the year. We have decided that i will do a photo shoot project. Where i will train my usage of 5 photography rules. With me doing 5 photos that respected the rule and 5 photos breaking it. In order to batter understand how and why these rules are used or ignored on occasion and to help me in the use of photography and camera equipment in the future. This post will be about the photos i took while i will make a separate post detailing what i learned from it and a description of the rules and their usage. Below there will be the photos i took (along with a description of the specific rule), the ones on the left side respect the rule while the ones on the right side break it.

Rule 2. Golden Spiral:

Rule 3. Simple and Clean Background:
