Say CHEEEEEEESE! and other ghosts

When I was a child, my parents kept telling me to not cut off people’s heads in photographs, to keep the sun in my back, to step back and make sure I have everyone in the frame, to make everyone says “cheese” in pictures. Smiles were important.

It took me a while to realize that my parents actually weren’t real photographers and that I could probably ignore that piece of advice. So I went on to make my own rules. (Actually my mother is going to participate in one of my photo workshops later this month to learn about photography from me now)

Have you ever started to question other people’s photography advice? Do you have any of those photography-related childhood leftovers that are still haunting you every now and then? Tell us all about them in the comments!
