To better understand images, composition, design \u00e2\u20ac\u201d almost anything \u00e2\u20ac\u201d deconstruct it (take it apart, dissect it, then figure out why you like it):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For example the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably the best composition photographer of all time. I delight in taking apart his shots to better understand them, also to integrate his composition<\/a> principles to my own photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physics and geometry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I really love deconstructing compositions from physics and abstract algebra\/geometry books. I shoot photos on iPad Pro<\/a>, trace the photos in the Procreate app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has helped me cross-pollinate<\/a> and understand (graphically) physics principles \u00e2\u20ac\u201d understanding it better, and also hoping to apply these principles to my own visual artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bad\u00e2\u20ac\u009d art or design. To me, it is only \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what you like\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only deconstruct design which you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re personally curious and interested in (ignore others). Follow your own nose and tastes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and never stop following your curiosity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
