As with all artistic disciplines, rules are there to be broken. It's great to learn about classical and traditional composition rules, but to really grow as a photographer it's also important to experiment and find out what you yourself find aesthetically pleasing, and also find out what your...

I shoot tethered in my studio using Lightroom. Never tried it with Capture One, but it works perfectly for me and I've never felt the need to explore other methods. It's great for immediately checking if critical focus is dead on and also for quickly going through a few variants on a pose...
