Abstract:
One can learn a great deal from the great photographers of the past. It is
important for a photographer to notice the mistakes that were made and to
concentrate on the methods great photographers used to become successful.
There are no specific rules, no particular 'wrongs' or 'rights' in
photography. Therefore, as every individual photographer has an own,
original taste in different styles of photography, many photographers often
differ from and criticize others' work. Thus, works of photographers of the
past can either be inspiring or samples of what should not be done. Either
way, there are lots to be learned from the history of photography.
