Academics Photography

simplicity or rule of thirds?

balance
si,



Finding interesting pictures was very hard. Being able to follow the composition rules was even harder. Although this was  a great experience, it was very frustrating. Kids acted like they were in Elementary School when they saw the camera. Overall, I think academic photographers have tons of patience and i have a new found respect for them.
