NO! I rarely use rule of thirds. It’s not even a rule, its a guideline for noobs. Take what looks good, and is interesting to you, don’t listen to anyone saying you need to follow this rule of photography, or that one. use this as an example. I took this picture, and its underexposed. People keep telling me this, when I intentionally underexposed it. Why? To give it a darker feel. It is an Evil Yo after all.
Now, I’m not saying you should never follow guidelines, but you should always consider breaking them. How else does one make good art?
