Правила от Бэстеда:
1. Break all photographic rules.don't leave any of them unbroken, at least once!
2. Take the safe shot.then break the rules with a passion!
3. From this point on the phrase "Breaking Rules" will be described as "Play".
4. You don't have to "Learn" the rules first before you are allowed to play!
5. When you play, it is for you..not the client. The client will benefit from your playtime!
6. Make sure that when you plan to play, that it will add some sort of twist to the image or composition. All blurry shots should be planned. Channel your playtime to maximize the chance of a great shot.
7. Learning to "Feel the dials and buttons" of your camera and "Hear you shutter" will help you play when you only have a few seconds.
8. Learn to play with the negative-spaces of a composition and bring them alive and useful to you.
9. Subject in the center is not always wrong. I love to break this rule!
10. Blowing out the highlights is not always wrong: especially when you are shooting backlit subjects.
11. Flare is great! Play with flare!
12. There is no "bad" light! This will be your mantra as you leave your house for the shoot. "There is no bad light! I will play today!"
13. Not looking through the camera when you shoot is a great way to learn the fine art of playing. If you are a wedding photographer: shoot at least 100 images a wedding without looking through the viewfinder.
14. Never tell a client that it was a mistake but the image turned out cool! Take credit for all great unplanned mistakes. Yet, try to duplicate the mistake later and add it to your stylistic repertoire. Never tell a client how many "play" images you took to get the killer shot. Show the client a few killer play shots as the shoot progresses. They will see that you are having fun and getting cool stuff and that will make them happy! Really!!
15. Make sure your future clients know you are a "Player". Show playful shots on your site and in your show albums.
16. The best time to play is when you are board, tired, apathetic, angry, hungry, hot, cold, have a headache, or when your mind tells you to hang and not play.
17. Play and your clients will love you for it!
