I took a shot of my cooked breakfast, ignoring the rule of never placing the subject in the centre of the image. I also broke the principles of food photography by not framing the plate with additional ingredients/items to enhance the food. The veggie sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms were plated to add height, but instead of taking a “straight on” or “45 degree” shot, which I feel would have been more appropriate, I took an “overhead” shot to break the rules. I am not surprised by the result- I feel that the image looks flat and boring!!
