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 catc...

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.
