>>4471811Rules in art lead to creativity. I think what the other anon was upset about is a photograph may not show artistic intent. Or may not convey anything to an audience. But that's just his subjective experience, and the fact other anons like it means the original poster was onto something. Isn't it a saying that everyone has one or two good photos in them before they die? Anyone can have a happy accident when they're shooting; it's about tuning your intuition and using the toolbox at a photographer's disposal to convey something with your image, or communicate a concept with art.
I made this because I wanted to experiment with motion blur and depth of field, while making a comment on chance and randomness (the cards). I don’t think it really looks good “objectively” because it needs a different setting (table and chairs in a smoky room) with better composition; it was just personally fun to colour match and motion blur for what I wanted: a crazy person moving their head as they play cards. It shouldn’t be on my bed, I know, and it would be better if I had a tripod in a better position. It should even be in a casino or something with onlookers seemingly unphased by the demonic, blurred face.
Sorry to butt in, just wanted to share what I’m thinking about with relation to photography and creative decisions.
