Let's Talk Photography

In this solo show Bart lays out the 12 reasons he believes phones in cameras have gone from pathetic jokes to amazing photographic tools. 2020 is the first year that Bart took 100% of his ‘keepers’ on his phone, and didn’t fire the shutter on his DSLR even once!

Bart returns for another solo show, picking up where he left off last time. In the previous show Bart gave his take on the so-called ‘Rule of Thirds’ — useful as a guideline sometimes, but definitely not a universal rule! If the rule of thirds is only helpful some of the time, are there other guidelines photographers may fine helpful the rest of the time? Indeed there are, but they don’t have catchy names like the Rule of Thirds, making them harder to remember. Bart tries to remedy this by getting creating and coining (hopefully) humours and hence memorable names for these nuggets of advice.

In this solo show Bart describes the so-called ‘Rule of Thirds’, and then teases apart what it’s good for, and more importantly, what it’s not good for. He argues in favour of its use as a tool in your proverbial toolbox, but that you should be careful never let it constrain your creativity.
