Break the rule, keep the feeling
Once you know the rules, bend them. Intentional contrast creates images that linger.

Every composition rule is a tool, not a law. Once you understand why the rules work, breaking them deliberately is how you make a photograph unmistakably yours.
A soggy horizon, a subject hard against the edge, a centered point of interest — used on purpose, these create tension and energy that a 'correct' composition can't.
The difference between an accident and a choice is intention. Break the rule clearly, not subtly, so the viewer knows you meant it.
Learn the rules with slay's guides first. Then turn them off and shoot with intention.
Frame it perfectly, every time.
slay overlays the exact composition guides from these principles right onto your camera.
