In my experience during this project i have discovered that the asymmetrical photos look a bit more intriguing. No doubt there is certain beauty in a perfectly centred image , however i find that displacing the object with the use of Rule of Thirds makes the viewers eye travel more, and thus appreciate the work more. After taking a year of photography, it actually was quite hard for me to shoot with the objecting right in the middle, it has almost become a habit to stick to asymmetrical compositions. I understand that in certain cases the use of symmetry may be quite pleasing to the eye, for instance, when shooting architecture, however when shooting smaller objects i find that the photographer has to put in a bit more work in order to really get the viewer to pay attention to the intended object.
