John Baldessari is quite a famous artist. When found out about him in photography I was surprised I hadn't heard of him before. .Sometimes he uses photography in his art, but most of the time he uses images that he found and changed in some way.
We were asked to look carefully at the image below and suggest why we thought it was titled "wrong". |

These are some comments people made:
The camera is out of focus
The composition is wrong
It has no colour and is very simple
There isn't anything imaginative about it
It is pointless, what is the meaning of this?
The man should be placed somewhere else
Some of the objects such as the tree and the car don't fit in the frame
It's depressing
Some people said everything is wrong in this photo
He has used one of his "mistakes" as a work of art
Some people said the title is wrong, nothing in the picture
It's boring even though the artist told everyone he wouldn't make anymore boring art

We were then asked to take as many "wrong" photos as possible by breaking as many of the hidden "rules" of photography as possible.

Here are to of the pictures we took that I thought looked the most "wrong":
This photo is considered second "wrongest" photo out of all of them because the main subject of the photo is too far away from the camera.
This photo is the photo that I thought was the most wrong lout of all of them. It is considered "wrong" because the camera was moving too much whilst taking the photo and the photo turned out out of focus and you can't tell what the photo is of. This photo seems pointless.
