The rule of thirds is done by aligning a subject with guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section When you open up your iPhone camera you see that grid appear? That is the rule of thirds and is important to know about in order to create a dynamic image. Framing can be done by having specific things between the grid lines. You can keep the horizon straight by using a tripod and lining up the center line with the subject. "Keeping it simple" could mean no photoshop or retouching, this depends on the context. To "fill the frame" you should add things in the background that add to an image such as bokeh. This can be done using a high depth of field. Active space is space that is needed to not be to close. This could be a space of white background being our subject. You can gain a new perspective by trying new angles. This could make a subject look longer or bigger. You should break one of these "rules" when it adds to the shot aka artistically. You can break one of these "rules" when you are trying to focus on something future away and blur int he front. Composition is important in order to make an image look full and unique.

It would. a painted portrait would be an important thing because they are official and take real artists to paint and if it was a painted portrait it would mean that there's seriousness and a desire to work together. portraits are maybe even more so important today because they are not a mainstream thing and are made only when we want to impress someone since they take time and will.sending a picture would not be the same as sending a portrait because a picture is just taken with a camera and there's no soul to it. if a picture is a painted one then it can reaffirm, especially if both states people are in it. if it's just a photograph then there wouldn't be much to it.things today are different because there's photographs everywhere and seeing pictures has lost its meaning since they are so abundant and found everywhere. all newspapers have pictures and just sending the same picture as everyone has would not mean much since it's easily obtainable.  perception of authority has changed over the years because the people trust their governments less and less as years go by. before world war two, governments were trusted and presidents were believed to work for the good of the country. nowadays, everyone is looking out for things that might bring the downfall of governments since it has been shown that governments often do bad things to say in power.
