As an educator, it would seem to me, getting your student into a
highly technical profession that uses photography mandates staying in
the box when producing images. NASA's Astronomers for example. You do
not show a hydrogen filled nebulus cloud structure without following
strict proceedural guidlines. Even false color images are based on
representing data in accordance with accepted practice.
Hmmm; and yet the desktop wallpaper on my work computer is a lovely
photo of the earth from space -- where a quarter of the earth is in the
bottom left corner, filling less than 1/4 of the frame, and the rest is
entirely empty.
If your student is going to be an artist, then get them out of the box
as soon as possible. Develope foundations and set them free.
And make sure they learn a trade, so they can make a living while being
an artist.
